Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Would a musical with Nazis, wimples, daring escapes, thunderstorms be butch enough for you? Which one is it?

Answer: Sound of Music

The first of several musicals with Nazis prominent. It's not all nuns and kids you know.

2. OK big man! Would you go to see Communists, Jews being persecuted, Cossacks, lots of beards in a musical? Would you know what you were going to see?

Answer: Fiddler on the Roof

Tevye never gets to be a rich man. The Cossacks drive him and his family from their home at the end of the film.

3. The hoarding over this show announces "Several blokes dancing - with Axes!" "The abduction of the Sabines!" "Fist fights!" "Avalanches!" What does it say on the ticket? (Apart from seat F14, �50)

Answer: Seven Brides for Seven Brothers

If you think tough guys don't dance, watch the barn raising scene in this excellent show.

4. A dark musical with Nazis, persecuted Jews and sleazy nightclubs. What are you paying your 'mark, a yen, a buck, or a pound' for?

Answer: Cabaret

For the first verse of 'Tomorrow Belongs to Me' the camera is up really close to the young tenor singing. The realization as the camera tracks back, that the boy is in fact a Nazi brownshirt was really creepy.

5. Your mate tells you this show has pirates, virgins, soldiers, policemen and battles 'from Marathon to Waterloo in Order Categorical' What has he been to see?

Answer: Pirates of Penzance

I'm not entirely sure this is a musical, but this operetta has a mixture of songs and dialogues, so I reckon it counts.

6. Lots of Queen songs, one after another! What more could a man ask? The name of the show, perhaps?

Answer: We Will Rock You

'Our House' is based on Madness Songs. 'Mamma Mia' is based on Abba songs. "The Beautiful Game" is trying to get you to think of the Queen song 'The Game'. You weren't fooled, were you?

7. Revolution! Man the Barricades! 'Some will fall and some will live. Will you stand up and take your chance' with which show?

Answer: Les Miserables

Fantastically powerful musical. Nearly everyone dies, but you still feel it's a happy ending. Go figure.

8. 'Beautiful girls wearing nothing but pearls.' I have to see this recent musical; but which one should I ask for?

Answer: The Producers

It's mean of me to tempt you in with one line from one song, but you won't be disappointed.

9. A musical for all you baseball fans. If you've ever been to a game, you've probably sung the 'hit single' to which show?

Answer: Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly are vaudeville performers who just happen to be pro baseball players in the summer, in the film version. Preposterous, but fun.

10. More Nazis! More nuns. No they're not Jews, but Aretha thinks they look like a pair of 'Hasidic diamond merchants'. Carrie Fisher with a rocket launcher. Hundreds of cars completely totalled. Surely you have already seen this, and didn't notice it was actually a musical?

Answer: The Blues Brothers

At the time, it was the most cars destroyed in one movie.
