Jukebox musical

A jukebox musical is a type of theatrical production that features a collection of popular songs, usually already well-known, woven into an original story or narrative. Instead of creating new music specifically for the show, these musicals use existing tracks to drive the plot and develop characters. The songs often come from a specific artist, band, or era, allowing audiences to enjoy familiar tunes while experiencing a live performance. Examples include "Mamma Mia!" with ABBA hits and "Jersey Boys," which showcases the music of The Four Seasons.
