The evolution of the American musical has morphed from operetta to Vaudevillian musical revue to the classic integrated musical comedy. The advent of the jukebox musical began as MAMMA MIA and ALL SHOOK UP shoehorned popular music into a script to showcase Abba or Elvis Presley’s music into paper-thin plots.

The music of the Motown wonder group THE TEMPTATIONS is one of the latest properties to take to the Broadway stage.
