By Vlad Zakh · March 10, 2026

Jukebox musicals use hit songs as their score, turning nostalgia into pure joy. Mamma Mia! and its sequel Here We Go Again are the obvious pair, Rocketman follows a pop icon’s rise shadowed by addiction, and Yesterday has a musician waking up in a world where only he remembers The Beatles. Sing Street and Rock of Ages round out the six.
