None.
There's no such thing as a good jukebox musical. Let a great pop songwriter (Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Prince, Paul McCartney etc...) write an original score in collaboration with a first rate book writer and creative team and perhaps a great musical might emerge. Retrofitting a book to bunch of pre-existing songs which were never intended to carry a story or develop and flesh out characters is probably always going to result in a crappy show.

Could you see a musical about Willie Nelson featuring songs that he has sung. What song should he sing while smokin' on the roof of the White House? when the IRS comes knocking on his door?

So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space

Trust me, take tha bad. In a few years, with real estate the way it is (and all the new people soon moving in - Donald Trump etc.) I am happy in the bad section of town. Once the new ones move in - the good section will be a melting pot.
Trust me, I got insider tips...and they were only for a small price....I feel no emotion.

Trust me, Martha has been here for years. She live 'round the corner.
Gates also live down the street in the "good" part (soon to become a slum of course)...after this Apprentice, Trump will be here.
