Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Why did Jeff call the people of Brigadoon "snobbish"?

Answer: Brigadoon wasn't on the map

MacGuffie couldn't sell Tommy milk because a 20th century shilling wasn't worth anything in 18th century Scotland; there was no telephone at the tavern because the telephone had not been invented when the miracle happened; and the people of Brigadoon stared at Tommy and Jeff because they were outsiders.

However, Jeff called them "snobbish" because Brigadoon was not on the map. It couldn't have been, though, because it had not technically existed for 200 years.
2. What did Tommy give Angus MacGuffie?

Answer: a shilling

Tommy gave MacGuffie a shilling, which led to some startled reactions from the locals. Jeff went on to ask Tommy if he had given Angus a "hunk of uranium."
3. Who had a "yearning" for Harry?

Answer: Maggie

While Harry was in love with Jean, Maggie was in love with Harry. Jane was Tommy's fiancee and never met Harry. If Meg ever had any interest in Harry (and with Meg, that was highly possible), the script never mentioned it.
4. Where did Meg Brockie offer to take Jeff?

Answer: the tavern

Meg offered to take Jeff to the tavern, and the ended up at the open shed. She told him about her escapades in the glen during the song "Love of My Life", and sidled up to him at the wedding.
5. What happened to Jeff's fiancee?

Answer: She fell in love with someone else

Jeff's fiancee fell in love with a Russian. He broke up with another girlfriend because they always fought over his drinking, but had nothing else to talk about when he quit. Jeff warned Meg about his snoring, but never mentioned anything about it ending a relationship.
6. What did Meg do when Jeff fell asleep?

Answer: She took off her shoes and sat in a rocking chair

Meg did the same thing her mother did when she first Meg's father, and smiled the whole time.
7. What was Charlie's middle name?

Answer: MacPherson

Charles MacPherson Dalrymple married Jean MacLaren. Harry Beaton was in love with Jean and caused some disturbance at their wedding.
8. The "miracle" was postponed. What day should it have occurred?

Answer: Tuesday

The miracle was originally planned for Tuesday, but since Charlie wouldn't be home from college until Wednesday (and would then have to miss his own wedding), it was put off until he arrived.
9. Who danced the Piobrocheed?

Answer: Maggie

While all are principle dancers in the show, Maggie danced the traditional Scottish mourning ritual for victim Harry. The sad display took place during Charlie and Jean's wedding.
10. What did Jeff feel after causing Harry's death?

Answer: nothing

No one was glad Harry died, but the citizens of Brigadoon were thankful that the miracle had not ended. Tommy later remarked that Jeff must feel "dead inside," to which Jeff replied that he didn't. He felt "nothing."
11. How long was Tommy back in New York before seeing his fiancee?

Answer: four months

The bartender mentioned that Jane had called or come by the bar every night for the four months since Tommy and Jeff had returned.
12. What was Jeff's "usual" drink?

Answer: bourbon

Jeff does order gin eventually, but the bartender called bourbon the "usual". Between his experiences in Brigadoon and his fiancee leaving him for a Russian, Jeff probably didn't want anything to do with scotch or vodka.
13. What was the bartender's name?

Answer: Frank

It was only mentioned in passing, but Jeff called the bartender Frank.
14. According to the script, who greets Tommy on his return to Brigadoon?

Answer: Mr. Lundie

According to the script, only Mr. Lundie welcomes Tommy back to Brigadoon. Some productions may have Fiona on stage as well, but that's purely artistic license.
15. The script names the girl Jean is seen walking with in Act One, but her name is never mentioned in the show. What is her name?

Answer: Kate

In the script for "Brigadoon", the stage directions show Jean walking with a girl. It goes on to say, "let's call her Kate." It's a tough question, but a fun piece of trivia!
