Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "I want you so, it's like I'm losing my mind."

Answer: Follies

From the song "Losing My Mind". I first fell in love with this song when I heard Michael Ball perform it on his CD "The Musicals".

2. "On my own, pretending he's beside me. All alone, I walk with him till morning."

Answer: Les Miserables

From "On My Own", THE classic unrequited love showtune. In it, Eponine the angst-y teenager wanders the Paris streets at night imagining her loved one is beside her.

3. "All at once am I several stories high, knowing I'm on the street where you live."

Answer: My Fair Lady

From "On the Street Where You Live". This young man has fallen in love and takes to haunting the street where his loved one lives, in hopes that he'll see her.

4. "No pain could be deeper, no life could be cheaper, no point anymore, if I can't love her."

Answer: Beauty and the Beast

From "If I Can't Love Her". A tragic song sung by the Beast as he realizes that Belle will probably never love him because of his outward appearance.

5. "My heart would take wing, and I'd feel so alive if someone like you found me."

Answer: Jekyll and Hyde

From "Someone Like You". Not exactly an unrequited love song, more along the lines of a "someday my prince will come" song.

6. "Should I bring him down? Should I scream and shout? Should I speak of love, let my feelings out?"

Answer: Jesus Christ Superstar

From "I Don't Know How To Love Him", where Mary Magdalene suspects she is falling in love with Jesus.

7. "Sweet dreams be yours, dear, if dreams there be, sweet dreams to carry you close to me."

Answer: The Music Man

From "Good Night My Someone". In this song, "old maid" Marian Paroo says good night to her future someone on the evening star.

8. "I would swim oceans, I would climb mountains, I would do anything for you. What do you want me to do?"

Answer: Assassins

From "Unworthy of Your Love". Hinckley and Squeaky sing this song together. It's a beautiful song... until you realize that these two went out and attempted assassinations to prove their love for their various loved ones.

9. "Wouldn't you like that, if someday we two should get married?"

Answer: You're a Good Man Charlie Brown

From "Schroeder", where Lucy professes her love to Schroeder who, of course, pays no attention to her.

10. "That's the girl he chose, and heaven knows, I'm not that girl."

Answer: Wicked

From "I'm Not That Girl". Elphaba sings this as she starts to fall in love with Fiyero... who is, at that point, with someone else.
