Yeah, I was thinking that too. Many of the songs in ASIB aren't performed in full either.

For comparison, the ASIB soundtrack has 18 songs (not counting the two different versions of INLA). People are so caught up in the "musical" label, but like, would y'all label ASIB a "musical" or a movie that incorporates music into its plot? I think it's the same situation here. There will be a lot of songs and music in the film because it's going to be a big plot point in the movie, but it's not a "musical" in the traditional sense. This isn't gonna be like The Greatest Showman, In The Heights, Grease, etc. 

Slay i was gonna complain but then i read this

Joker Folie A Deux is NOT a musical. It is a feature film with 15 musical numbers where the characters dance and sing. A bit like West Side Story or Singin' in the Rain.

The Joker and Harley Quinn are set to serenade audiences in “Joker: Folie à Deux,” but if, and how many original songs will be included in the film, is a mystery. 

Insiders privy to filming and early versions of Todd Phillips’ eagerly awaited sequel to “Joker” tell Variety the movie leans heavily towards being “mostly a jukebox musical,” as it integrates at least 15 reinterpretations of “very well-known” songs. One is said to be “That’s Entertainment” from the 1953 musical “The Band Wagon,” famously associated with Judy Garland. However, there is a door open for an original song (or two) to be added to the final version. Details regarding who would pen the tracks, or sing the numbers are unknown. We do know, according to sources, Hildur Guðnadóttir, the Oscar-winning composer of the first “Joker” film, is said to “infuse her distinctive, haunting [music] cues” into each number. Warner Bros declined to comment.

Jukebox musicals, known for featuring popular songs, often achieve box office success. Examples include “Mamma Mia!” and “Moulin Rouge!,” the latter receiving eight Oscar nominations. “Joker 2” is expected to break the mold of traditional musicals.

Specific details about the plot of “Folie à Deux” have not been officially confirmed, but the film is described as a drama with elements taking place in and around Arkham Asylum. Alongside Phoenix and Gaga, the cast includes Emmy nominee Zazie Beetz (“Atlanta”), as well as Oscar nominees Catherine Keener (“Being John Malkovich”) and Brendan Gleeson (“The Banshees of Inisherin”). Phillips collaborated on the screenplay with Scott Silver.

Variety reported that the budget for the sequel has neared $200 million, a significant jump from the $60 million tag of the original film. The sequel is among Warner Bros’ most anticipated releases this year, following the success of “Dune: Part Two” from director Denis Villenueve. The studio’s slate also includes George Miller’s “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” (which will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival), Tim Burton’s “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” and the animated “The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim.”

The first “Joker” movie, a Golden Lion winner at the Venice International Film Festival, grossed over $1 billion worldwide and led the Oscars with 11 nominations. Early discussions are under way for a possible premiere at this year’s Venice Film Festival, sources say.

We love a non musical musical

Gaga better tease her songs in the movie at the vegas show 

[TEETHTEETH 1,569]

I am so excited to see however this all plays out. What an awesome combination of all the things 

[RAMROD 105,282]

What's the chance Paparazzi being included in this? 

[hELXIG 41,909]

I wonder if it's something like... Harley slips into little daydream fantasies throughout the movie, which only last a few seconds or a minute, and each one has just a snippet of a cover (and I imagine each one becoming more deluded. And it's over the top, narrated even, comic book style). If so, kinda cool to have the actors singing the music rather than just playing it in the background
