I've almost started to lose track of how many jukebox bio musicals have come out. To be honest, Summer: The Donna Summer Musical isn't one I've given a second thought to since it played Broadway. After seeing ita??I probably won't give it much more either....

If there's one thing we all could use right now, it's an escape from the winter weather to an island resort sipping on mixed drinks.
