Answer: Armand

Armand St. Just was portrayed by Gilles Chiasson in the original Broadway run of the show.
2. What were Percy's band of helpers called?

Answer: Bounders

The Pimpernel and his Bounders snatched many a innocent victim from the guillotine!
3. What country was the spy "Grappin" supposed to have been from?

Answer: Belgium

"Grappin," really the Pimpernel in disguise, was introduced as "the Belgian spy."
4. How many songs does Marguerite's brother sing in the musical?

Answer: one

Armand only sings one song, "You Are My Home," in a duet with Marguerite.
5. What is the name of Marguerite's artist friend, who later helps the Scarlet Pimpernel?

Answer: Marie

Marie Grosholtz painted the scenery for the theatre in which Marguerite used to perform, and later painted a portrait of Sir Percy that was rather "breathtaking!" (in his own words).
6. How many instrumental songs are heard on the OBC recording of the musical?

Answer: four

Four are heard - the "Overture," "Marguerite's Dilemma," the "Entr'acte," and "The Duel."
7. Which of these does Chauvelin NOT say will happen in "Falcon in the Dive?"

Answer: He will guillotine the Pimpernel himself

He never says that he would guillotine the Pimpernel himself - although I have no doubt that he would!
8. In "The Creation of Man," what does Percy urge his men to be? "A lion-hearted _____"

Answer: prig

"Sir! Be a lion-hearted prig!" is one of the lines found in this humorous song.
9. How many aides did Chauvelin have with him to help in the capture of the Pimpernel?

Answer: two

He orders his two aides, Mercier and Copeau, to hunt all over Paris for the Scarlet Pimpernel.
10. The "Concept Album" of The Scarlet Pimpernel, released almost seven years before the musical debuted on Broadway, included some songs that did not make it into the final version of the musical. How many songs were exclusive to this release?

Answer: five

The five songs were "Home Again," "Marguerite," "Now When the Rain Falls," "Our Separate Ways," and "There Never Was a Time."
11. Which of these is NOT one of the names Percy called Chauvelin when he was having "difficulty" pronouncing his name?

Answer: Shovie

"Ah, Sho-Sho! Like a little dog name!" is just one of the hilarious lines Percy utters during this scene.
12. In "Madame Guillotine," which noble is being decapitated?

Answer: The Marquis de St. Cyr

The Marquis de St. Cyr, whom Chauvelin had forced Marguerite to betray, lost his head as the mob crowded around.
13. What material was Percy's "Royal Ball" clothing made from?

Answer: ruby satin

Percy was upset to learn that the Prince was planning to wear ruby satin as well, and rushed to the royal chambers to pick out something else for his Highness!
14. What is the last line spoken before the beginning of "The Riddle?"

Answer: Can I trust you?

"It's not true!" is what Marguerite says when Chauvelin tells her that her brother is a member of the Scarlet Pimpernel's league. "You ask the impossible!" is another line from Marguerite, in response to Chauvelin telling her to find out who the Scarlet Pimpernel is. "Bring on the moment of truth" is the line Percy speaks during the short interlude in "The Riddle" right before he sings his first line in the song.
15. Before "Falcon in the Dive" Chauvelin and Robespierre have a conversation about one of the Pimpernel's latest rescue tactics. Evidently, there were many geese running about the square where the guillotine was. How many geese did Chauvelin's men catch?

Answer: 123

But no one ever caught the "blind old goose woman" that let the geese run wild!
