since u been gone

I went to see the Broadway show &Juliet this weekend. It’s what they call a “jukebox” musical. I’d never heard that term before. It refers to a show that uses existing music – things you’ve heard before – for the base of the show. There’s no new content there. Which was okay for me. Toe tapping to the songs I’ve heard on the radio, I went along with it. (And it was fabulous.)

One the songs they did (I’m not wrecking any secrets here for those of you who haven’t seen it) was “Since U Been Gone” – originally performed by Kelly Clarkson. It was a funny moment in the show and made everyone laugh.
