[edit] Removing "Capeman" and "The Shalt Not"

• The Capeman (1998), music of Paul Simon.
• Thou Shalt Not (2001-2002), music of Harry Connick, Jr..

They do not meet the criteria as both are made up of songs specifically written for the musica, violating the "features a set of preexisting hit songs" rule - Richfife 22:03, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

The same goes for Taboo. I'm removing that. --AMK1211 15:52, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Crazy_For_You

This show is a revised version of Girl_Crazy, as is stated on the show's Wikipedia entry. The plot is pretty much the same, and the changes of songs are on a level of the 1962 off-Broadway revival of Anything_Goes. Therefore I would suggest removing this. kosboot 13:20, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Production dates

I have amended these dates to indicate only the year in which these musicals were produced for the first time. To show a date span is to suggest they no longer exist and/or never will be staged again. Many of these will live on in regional theatre and summer stock productions for years to come.

[edit] Definition

I am not sure I agree with the definition. The film A Hard Day's Night would not be one by this definition, since the songs in it were not previously released. However, the Village Voice, in a review published at the time of the film's original release, said that it was "the Citizen Kane of juke box musicals" [1]. In fact, when I first read this a few years ago, it was the first time I had heard of the term "jukebox musical". (BTW, I am old enough that I saw the A Hard Day's Night at the movie theater.) --rogerd (talk) 05:34, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
