A Jukebox Musical takes pop hits and places them in a musical theatre production. Some like “Mamma Mia” place the songs of a particular artist or songwriter or musical genre into an original story, while others, like “Jersey Boys”, are known as Bio Musicals, and centre on the life and career of a particular artist. We will explore both types and listen to lots of music from the most popular that have appeared on Broadway and beyond: “Mamma Mia”, “Movin’ Out”, “Rock of Ages”, “Bat Out of Hell”, “We Will Rock You”, “Jagged Little Pill and Juliet”, “Jersey Boys”, “Tina”, “The Cher Show”, and so many more.
