Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "November Song", "Beautiful Through And Through", "When You Meet a Man in Chicago"

Answer: Sugar

"Sugar" was an adaption of the film "Some Like It Hot" Turned out to be a big flop.

2. "Welcome to the Holiday Inn", "Spanglish", "My City"

Answer: Seesaw

"Seesaw" gave Tommy Tune his big break on Broadway. Where is he now?

3. "The Passenger's Always Right", "Come to Me", "Useful Phrases"

Answer: Sail Away

Starring the great Elaine Stritch. Woe to anyone who missed her "At Liberty"!

4. "Lady's Maid", "Doing the Latest Rag", "In Every Age"

Answer: Titanic

Score by the wonderful Maury Yeston. Saw this show three times in two days. No one I know liked it though.

5. "Children of the Wind", "I Remember", "Blame It On the Summer Night"

Answer: Rags

Never saw the show, but I play the CD all the time.

6. "Runnin' to Meet the Man", "Measure the Valleys", "He Come Down This Morning"

Answer: Raisin

An adaption of "Raisin In the Sun". Great performances captured on the cast recording.

7. "Mama, I'm a Big Girl Now", "Big, Blonde and Beautiful", "I Can Hear the Bells"

Answer: Hairspray

Lucky enough to see this show in previews. Had the audience literally dancing up the aisles.

8. "Welcome to the Night", "Don't Know Where You Leave Off", "What If"

Answer: Sweet Smell of Success

This CD got to the bottom of the pile real fast! One good thing: Brian D'Arcy James.

9. "Welcome to the Theatre", "Who's That Girl", "Good Friends"

Answer: Applause

A musical adaption of "All About Eve". The TV version has Lauren Bacall playing opposite Larry Hagman. Hard time not thinking that's JR Ewing romancing Margo Channing.

10. "Only in New York", "Not For the Life of Me", "Forget About the Boy"

Answer: Thoroughly Modern Millie

Saw it just to see it, however, turned out to be 100 times better than I anticipated. Sutton Foster is amazing, Harriet Harris is a hoot!
