Answer: Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

Nellie Forbush in "South Pacific" is from Little Rock, Arkansas, as is Lorelei Lee in "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes." Lorelei even sings "A Little Girl From Little Rock."

Answer: She Loves Me

Rosabella, in "The Most Happy Fella," falls in love with Tony when they exchange letters--they never meet. Amalia in "She Loves Me" also falls in love with Georg when they exchange letters. (She has already met Georg, but does not know he has written the letters she treasures.)

8. The locale of "Do I Hear A Waltz?" bears a similarity to what other Broadway musical?

Answer: Milk and Honey

"Do I Hear a Waltz?" and "Milk and Honey" take place entirely in foreign countries. (Italy in the first case; Israel in the second.)

A few years later, she obtained another assignment to do the choreography for another Broadway show and once again left her position prior to the show's Opening Night. What show was this?

Answer: Hooray For What!

Believe it or not, acclaimed choreographer Agnes de Mille ("Oklahoma!" "Carousel," "Brigadoon," "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," et. al.) left her first two positions as choreographer on a Broadway musical prior to the show's opening on Broadway. The two musicals were "Flying Colors" in 1932 and "Hooray For What!" a few years later.
