Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the name of the play Max Bialystock had produced at the start of the show?

Answer: Funny Boy

In the beginning, Max Bialystock has put on a play that the audience is utterly disgusted with. He called it "Funny Boy", which is a musical version of "Hamlet". "Springtime for Hitler" is the name of the play that he and Leo Bloom produce later, and "A Gay Romp" is part of the title for "Springtime for Hitler".

2. What does Leo Bloom discover when he does Max Bialystock's books?

Answer: That he made more money with a flop than a hit

In the song "We Can Do It", Max attempts to convince Leo that they can put on the biggest flop in history, on Leo's statement that he made more money with a flop. Leo does not want to do it at first, then he agrees after picturing his life as a successful producer.

3. Who wrote "the worst play ever written"?

Answer: Franz Liebkind

Max finds paydirt with Franz Liebkind's play "Springtime for Hitler" and convinces Franz to let him produce it with Leo. Roger DeBris is the director they hire to direct the play, Carmen Ghia is Roger's assistant, and Adolf Hitler is the main character in Franz's play.

4. How much money does Max plan to raise to put on the show?

Answer: $2 million

In the song "We Can Do It", Max lays out the plan: find the worst play ever written, hire the worst director in town, raise two million dollars, hire the worst actors in New York and open on Broadway, then close on Broadway take the money and go to Rio de Janeiro. He successfully raises the money in "Along Came Bialy".

5. Franz Liebkind auditions and successfully gains the role of Adolf Hitler. However, he is not able to keep the role on opening night.

Answer: True

In the song "Haben sie gehort das Deutsche band", Franz Liebkind sings his heart out and Max gives him the role of Hitler immediately. However, on opening night, Franz breaks his leg and Roger goes on in his place.

6. How long, roughly, on the musical soundtrack is the song "Springtime for Hitler"?

Answer: 8 minutes

"Springtime for Hitler" is quite a song. It runs for about 8 minutes, while "I Wanna Be A Producer" is about 6 minutes long; there is no song on the CD that is 10 minutes long, and "Keep It Gay" is about 5 minutes long.

7. Is the play a flop as Max and Leo envisioned?

Answer: No

Sadly, the play is a success. It earns great reviews in the papers and, as Leo says in "Where Did We Go Right?", may earn a Pulitzer Prize.

8. Who is arrested upon the close of "Springtime for Hitler"?

Answer: Max

After "Where Did We Go Right?", Max is arrested and locked up. Leo, on the other hand, runs off to Rio with the money and Ulla.

9. Does Leo come back to help Max?

Answer: Yes

Just before Max is sentenced, Leo comes in to turn himself in. He also confesses his pride in having a friendship with Max in the song "Til Him".

10. Max and Leo are sent to Sing Sing, then released.

Answer: True

The judge sentences Leo and Max to five years at Sing Sing. There, Max and Leo put on the play "Prisoners of Love" and the mayor grants them a full pardon for "bringing song and dance into the hearts of every murderer, rapist and sex maniac in Sing Sing."
