Posted: 6/26/06 at 9:40pmSomeone said the Bee Gees had SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER, but that story wasn't about the Bee Gees...it just contained many of their disco hits. I think the story of that band would be very interesting - including their brother, Andy Gibb - plus they wrote a lot of non-disco hits that could be included in a jukebox musical. Their early songs are very melodic and require great voices.

Glinda2, it's still a jukebox musical even though it is not biographical. Whoever was in charge had to get the rights to use their songs...just like Good Vibrations was considered a Beach Boys musical even though it wasn't about the Beach Boys. Same with Mamma Mia...an Abba musical...has nothing to do with Abba in terms of plot.
