A Jukebox Musical is a theatrical production that features a collection of popular songs, often from a specific artist or genre, woven into a narrative. These musicals typically use existing music to tell a story, allowing audiences to enjoy familiar tunes while experiencing a new plot.
The format gained popularity in the late 20th century, with notable examples like Mamma Mia!, which showcases the music of ABBA, and Jersey Boys, centered around the songs of The Four Seasons. Jukebox musicals celebrate the power of music to evoke emotions and connect with audiences.
