juke-box musical--musicals based on the pop music of one old star or a time period (1950's or 1960's). Some hit big ("Jersey Boys" will have run for 11 years when it closes; "Moving Out" ran for about two years, and "Beautiful" is still going strong), but most fail, like:
"Good Vibrations" (Beach Boys)
"Makes Me Wanna Holler" (Tupac Shakur)
"Bullets Over Broadway" (1920's popular music, finale was "Yes, We Have No Bananas")
"Saturday Night Fever" (Bee Gees)
"Dream" (music of Johnny Mercer, bombed in 1997)
