I wouldn’t be surprised if it ends up repurposed as a The Room-style late night cult screening kind of movie.

There's a ropey cartoon version of this on HBO Max my daughter quite likes so we'll probably see this.

The link won't work but apparently that's a bit of issue now, jukebox musicals sell themselves as being a big fun sing-along rather than a night at the theater. Then parts of the audience get pissed off with other parts singing over the cast and dancing blocking the view so they can't actually see or hear the show and fights break out or complaints stream in.

I discovered last week that there is a jukebox musical called '& Juliet' which has a play-within-a-play of a follow-up to the ending of Romeo & Juliet. The music is 'songs by Max Martin' so they range from Since U Bn Gone by Kelly Clarkson to Perfect by Pink, as well as SIX Backstreet Boys songs.

The whole concept sounds so irredeemably terrible I genuinely wonder if it's popular because it's bad.

It's popular with tourists who can't commit to an actual plot and groups of 14 year old girls on a school trip.

I've never heard a song by them apart from National Express, so it means nothing to me unfortunately.

The Divine Comedy are one of my favourite bands and Neil Hannon is an excellent and multifaceted songwriter. None of this is going to stop this film being the absolute shits.
