I really think that the 'Jersey Boys' musical - and this is just my opinion - lends itself to being cinematic in some way, because it's a jukebox musical; the characters break into song only for the scene transitions.

WHAT DOES JUKEBOX MUSICAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Jukebox musical

A jukebox musical is a stage or film musical that uses previously released popular songs as its musical score. Usually the songs have in common a connection with a particular popular musician or group — because they were either written by, or for, the artists in question, or at least covered by them. The songs are contextualized into a dramatic plot: often the biographical story of the performer whose music is featured, although in some cases the plot does not revolve around the particular group at all. Although jukebox musicals had achieved success for years, their recent surge in popularity was led by the success of Mamma Mia!, built around the music of ABBA. Reception of jukebox musicals have been divided, with the most common criticism being that there is too much focus on how many songs can be fitted into the musical. Some jukebox musicals, like Lennon and Good Vibrations have been critical and financial flops. Others, like Jersey Boys and All Shook Up have received acclaim and have become popular with fans and critics alike.
