Answer: Sandy

"Sandy" (1978) is not used in all stage productions of "Grease", with some companies preferring instead to stick to the original musical and use the song, "Alone at a Drive-In Movie" (1971).

In the 1993 production of the show, the song was sung by Danny played by Craig McLachlan and Sandy played by Debbie Gibson. Most productions though use it as a Danny solo song, as it is in the movie version.

Answer: All That Jazz

Velma is a fan of jazz, but, as the musical is set in the 1920s, it's safe to say she never owned a Honda Jazz, probably much to her disappointment.

"Chicago" debuted in 1975, but its history goes back much further than that as it is based on the play of the same name, which premiered in 1926, at the height of the Jazz Age.

Answer: Defying Gravity

What a cast the original Broadway show had, with Kristin Chenoweth playing Glinda and the great Idina Menzel playing Elphaba. The cast for the original West End production in 2006 wasn't bad either as Menzel reprised her role and was joined by Nigel Planer as the Wonderful Wizard of Oz and Miriam Margolyes as Madame Morrible.

"Defying Gravity" (2003) was used as the anthem to the Gay Pride event in 2007 in Los Angeles, the same year that Menzel released it as a single. Unfortunately, the record buying public weren't as entranced as the theatre going public and it peaked at number 60 in UK.

Answer: My Shot

"My Shot" sees Hamilton discussing the future with Marquis de Lafayette, Hercules Mulligan, John Laurens and Aaron Burr.

"Hamilton" was one of the first and certainly one of the finest rap/hip hop musicals ever made. Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote the music and lyrics for the show, and starred as Alexander Hamilton during the show's Broadway run in 2015.

Answer: My Strongest Suit

Just to confuse matters, Aida is given as a gift to Amneris to be her new handmaiden.

The best known number from the show is probably "Written In The Stars" (1998), which became a top 30 hit on charts throughout the world when it was released as a single by Elton John and LeAnn Rimes in 1999. In the stage show, it is sung by Radames and Aida.
