What is your favorite jukebox musical? Mine are Movin Out and Mamma Mia.

IMO Jersey Boys is the only half decent one.

I am a fairly new member and I always see people saying IMO. Can someone tell me what that means? Thanks

IMO= in my opinion.

Movin' Out, if it counts as one. Of the traditional ones.... oh, hell, I'd say Lennon because the music was too good and the cast too talented to stop me from having a good time, even if the show itself was a wreck, but it's not truly a jukebox musical either, IMO. I guess if I had to choose between the ones that really fit the bill, All Shook Up?

if someone gives a great performance in a jukebox musical, does that make them a jukebox hero? LOLZ!

I saw We Will Rock You with the OLC in London, and I thought it was great.

The book is extremely corny and cheesy, but I have to admit, it was an extremely fun show to go to. It was funny and exciting, and I loved it.

Are we really having this conversation?!?

It's really not a conversation. It's more like people posting their favorites. (I'm feeling mean tonight)

The Buddy Holly Story. I think I liked it better than Jersey Boys. And by the way, I really wouldn't call JB the first "halfway decent jukebox musical" at all.
