OK, time for another trivia game. Now I know from experience on these boards that I'm not the only one who is unashamedly a fan of musicals (but not Andrew Lloyd-Webber who should be run over with a steamroller driven by Sondheim) so this could have the legs to run and run.

So all musicals are open for questions, film, TV, stage, whatever. Any writer, any genre.

So I'll start (obviously).

By what name is Benjamin Barker better known?

Yup. I got the OCR for Christmas (can't get it here in the UK so Chris had to get it from the US) and I've ben listening to it every night this week because I can't be bothered to change the CDs in my stereo. He heh.

You're up.

Wow, I got a musical question right. I actually like the Angela Lansbury version of the show.

Okay, now to come up with one of my own.

Where can you find Cinderella's and Rapunzel's princes singing a duet?

I knew that would be an easy one. The first musical Caroline and I went to see as a married couple. One of my favorites and it is her favorite.

You're up Jeffy!

It's one of my favorites too. I got to be in it in college, and it was one of the best experiences of my life.

Hmm... here's a multiple-choice one.

The legendary Jule Styne/Stephen Sondheim musical Gypsy has been performed on Broadway, movies, and on TV. Can you name the 6 women who have played the star of Gypsy, Mama Rose (generally considered the greatest role for a woman in musicals) in all these incarnations (Broadway, movies, and TV.) I'm looking for 6 actresses.

Ethel Merman (OBC), Rosalind Russell (Movie), Angela Lansbury ('73 London), Tyne Daly ('89 Broadway -- my favorite), Bette Midler (TV), Bernadette Peters (current Broadway)

At least those are the OCs that got recorded. I know Linda Lavin replaced Tyne Daly later in that run. I also saw a fantastic production at the Papermill Playhouse in New Jersey with Betty Buckley and Debbie (oops, I mean Deborah) Gibson.

Hmm, I think I like this show too much.

Mama has more star power backing her up than ANYONE.

You got it, Seymour! You're up!

Woo hoo! I should have saved the Linda Lavin trivia for my question! Oh, well. Here's one:

Speaking of great musicals for women, Jerry Herman has written the music for several (and a good one for gay guys, too). One of his top leading ladies is Angela Lansbury (she's getting a lot of attention on this thread!). Name three Jerry Herman musicals she originated roles in.
