It's the opposite of what he wanted (i.e. a jukebox musical).
But Jim's original (ish - given how long the show was in development) premise was never going to happen for a multitude of reasons (one being age and nudity related and how the zeitgeist wouldn't work in its favor).
Age old battle: Art VS profit.
Jim former.
Sonenberg + producers latter.
Jim didn't have the energy to fight them (they cast the entire first run behind his back, locked him out, at which he was horrified and 'badly shaken').
Hence you got what you got.
