Name the Musical Trivia Questions

1. Which musical belted out that great tune "All That Jazz"?

From Quiz Musicals! Part 1

Answer: Chicago

Set in the age of jazz, the musical Chicago premiered in 1975 and has been successfully revived in both Broadway and the West End ever since. In 2002 the movie version, starring Catherine Zeta Jones, Rene Zellweger and Richard Gere, garnered 6 Academy Awards including one for best picture, which is a rarity for musicals. The connection between all of the answers is the legendary Bob Fosse who defined all of these shows. A semi-autobiographical movie of his life, starring Roy Schneider was fittingly titled "All that Jazz".

From Quiz Ten Lyrics for Ten Musicals

Answer: Annie

'Annie' is based on the comic strip about the little red-haired orphan of the same name. 'It's a Hard Knock Life' is sung by Annie and the other girls at the orphanage, about the hardships they face there. It is prompted by Miss Hannigan, the evil director of the orphanage, ordering the girls to clean it up after Annie tries to escape. Annie later escapes by hiding in a laundry basket. Jay-Z sampled the song for 'Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)', a parody of which appears in 'Austin Powers: Goldmember'.

Written by Jonathan Larson and loosely based on Puccini's "La Boheme", "Rent" debuted off-Broadway in 1996 and moved to Broadway a few months later. Sadly, Larson died the night before the off-Broadway premiere from an aortic dissection at the age of 35. "Rent" focused on the lives of a group of artistic friends living in New York City and dealt with poverty, HIV/AIDS, and drug abuse among other topics. "Seasons of Love" asked "How do you measure a year in a life?" and "How can you measure the life of a woman or a man?" It became an AIDS anthem due to its connection with the AIDS-suffering characters in the show and its poignant line: "To celebrate, remember a year in the life of a friend".
