"Pennies From Heaven" is from a 1981 movie musical called PENNIES FROM HEAVEN starring Bernadette Peters, Steve Martin, Christopher Walken and John McMartin. It is really a Love-It-Or-Hate-It type of film. People usually feel very strongly one way or the other about it.
I think it's glorious! Buy it! It's a treasure!

"Pennies from Heaven" was written long before 1981, probably sometime in the 1930's.
HOW NOW, DOW JONES: "Rich is Better" --- The whole show takes place behind the scenes of Wall Street. It ran for 220 performances in 1967-68. Producer David Merrick brought in Michael Bennett to help with the choreography and Bennett brought Tommy Tune with him to assist and to dance in the show.

Posted: 5/20/07 at 12:00amTheatreDiva90016, there's two different "money songs" from Cabaret. "Money Makes the World Go Round" was not the original. I believe (memory is faded now) it was written for the movie and, being the better song, has been done in most/all productions since. But there is the other one, which I believe is just called "Money Song." I can't even remember how it goes.

So there are original songs as well as previously written songs? Well then wouldn't Thoroughly Modern Millie be considered a Jukebox musical?
I just assumed Jukebox meant the entire score was not original music, and taken from a group or singer or other source.

Posted: 5/20/07 at 12:11amWhen I put "jukebox" in parentheses next to that song, I was saying that "We're In The Money" as a specific song was not written for musical theatre. I don't consider 42ND STREET as a whole a "jukebox musical." The only song in MILLIE that was not either written for the show or from the movie was the love duet between Trevor and Miss Dorothy (the title escapes me), correct?
