Connie and Carla Trivia Quiz

Answer: Oklahoma

We first see Connie and Carla when they are in elementary school. They hop up on the stage during their lunch break and sing 'Oklahoma' to all of the kids in the cafeteria.

Answer: An airport

They perform in the airport bar, on a mocked-up stage with dodgy costumes. It's a far cry from their dream of becoming cabaret stars, but it's a job at least.

Answer: Maybe This Time

When we first see them performing in the airport, they do a medley of songs from different shows, including 'Memory' from 'Cats', and the title songs from 'Oklahoma' and 'Jesus Christ Superstar'. They sing 'Maybe This Time' much later in the movie.

Answer: Mame

By the end of the movie he knows all of the words to the song 'Mame', having seen it in just about every dinner theatre he visits. This is where he develops a love for musicals and for performing in general, singing along to the words of 'Mame'.

Answer: Don't Cry For Me Argentina

They sing 'Don't Cry For Me Argentina', from 'Evita', during one of their cabaret performances. 'Evita' was composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber, and is based on the real life story of Eva Peron. During the 1990s, it was made into a film starring Madonna as Eva, and Antonio Banderas as Che Guevara.

Answer: Debbie Reynolds

Debbie Reynolds makes an appearance as herself in the movie, and even sings a song! Debbie hears about Connie and Carla because Carla leaves a flyer for their show in her letterbox. Carla finds Debbie's house on a map that shows stars' homes.

Answer: There Are Worse Things I Could Do

Debbie Reynolds sings a surprise performance of 'There Are Worse Things I Could Do', from the musical 'Grease', at the opening of the dinner theatre. Connie, Carla and their friends sing backup for the song.

Answer: On My Own

Even though it is arguably one of the most popular musicals of all times, 'Les Miserables' (where the song 'On My Own' comes from) didn't make an appearance during this movie. A couple of songs from 'Oklahoma' are performed at different times during the movie. 'I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair', from 'South Pacific', is performed during one of Connie and Carla's performances, and 'Don't Rain On My Parade', from 'Funny Girl', is also a number that the girls sing on stage.

Answer: David Duchovny

David Duchovny, from 'The X-Files', plays Jeff, Connie's possible love interest. The only complication? He thinks that Connie is a drag queen, not a woman. Coincidentally, Jeff's brother lives in the same apartment block as Connie and Carla, and is a drag queen.

Answer: What to do, how to move him

'What to do, how to move him' is from the song 'I Don't Know How to Love Him', from 'Jesus Christ Superstar'. It is NOT sung in the movie. The incorrect answers are from the following songs and shows:

'Try not to get worried' is from 'Everything's Alright', from the show 'Jesus Christ Superstar'.

'Don't tell me not to live, just sit and putter', from 'Don't Rain On My Parade', is from the show 'Funny Girl'.

'...And send him on his way', from 'I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair', is from the show 'South Pacific'.

These three songs are performed by Connie and Carla at different times in the movie, including during their performances at the cabaret club.
