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)
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)
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.

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)
There seems to be some confusion over what makes a movie a Jukebox Musical.
I've removed three movies from this list. In the case of A Hard Day's Night, the album was the soundtrack from the film, hence the film is not a jukebox musical. In the cases of Tommy and The Wall, although the music was released and became popular prior to being made into a film, the source material was produced as a complete work and the film closely follows it.
A Hard Day's Night is still erroneously listed as a Jukebox Musical. It most certainly is not. 107.221.229.121 ( talk) 04:06, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
Also, I'm not sure about Singin' in the Rain or Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny, but I haven't removed them from the list as I don't know the history of the former and have never even seen the latter.
Incidentally, I added American Pop to the list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dovregubben ( talk • contribs) 11:22, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
As the term is defined, Green Day's American Idiot should not be listed here. The stage musical is based on an original concept album, and interpolates a few more songs from Green Day's catalog. The basic story line of the concept album is maintained in the musical. This situation is similar to The Who's Tommy. Chaotic22 ( talk) 05:15, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
As a fairly heavy fan of the band, I've never heard of this; nor can I find any obvious reference to it online. It was added by an anonymous edit (the editor's only wikipedia edit) in 2011. If it really exists, and someone has a cite for it, I stand corrected, but until then, I'll leave the reference to it here, but I'm pulling it from the article.

Is Xanadu a jukebox musical? It's based on the film, and the songs were written as a soundtrack to the film, except for two additional ELO songs, but I don't feel those alone make this a jukebox musical. -- Cowduck ( talk) 08:31, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
As of 2020, this list remains highly questionable. Considering Rocky Horror Picture Show as a juke box musical seems particularly absurd. Kumagoro-42 ( talk) 13:03, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
If this is - and I don't think it is - then American Graffiti certainly is, and I would argue that most of Quentin Tarantino's work is too. Lovingboth ( talk) 21:41, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
