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.

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.

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.

I was afraid if I said anything about one of them not being for the stage, it would make it too easy right away.

O.K....in keeping with the Jerry Herman theme...
The first act of this musical contained the JH tune "Just Go to the Movies," the second act was loosely based on the play "the Bear" by Checkov. Name the musical.

Good job, Mike! It was indeed Hal Prince, with a WHOPPING 17 Tony Awards (The Pajama Game, Damn Yankees, Fiorello!, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Fiddler on the Roof, Cabaret, 2 for Company, Follies, A Little Night Music, Sweeney Todd, Evita, Phantom of the Opera, and Showboat.) He either directed or produced all of these (many times, both.)
Hal Prince's legacy to musical theater really is amazing.
Anyway, you're up, Mike!

*shudder* What a horrible thought. Sarah Brightman trying to sing Sondheim. Urgh.
As for the question... well just because of her association with Sondheim I'd guess Bernadette Peters but you know I have a feeling that's probably completely wrong.

I had to do some digging to find this one, but it's ...
Merle Louise
Not exactly a household name, but she had three (found lots of twos):
Susan, Company; Cinderella's Mother (et al), Into the Woods; Beggar Woman, Sweeney Todd.
Phew

Ooh! Yay me!
Hmm, let's see. What musicals did I see when I was in London around this time last year? Um, no, that's a thread killer. No one could answer it.
OK, another Sondheim one, but I suspect if you knew Merle Louise, it might be too easy. But let's give it a go. Of the shows he collaborated on as lyricist, there was on composer who was a true mentor and friend. Who was it, and what show did they write together?

"West Side Story," wasn't it? With Bernstein?
I'd suspect just about any composer he worked with would have ended up as his friend, though.

That certainly sounds right. Although I also have a feeling that Westside Story was a rather... stressed production. I'm sure I've heard stories of the various contributors not getting on terribly well.

He and Richard Rodgers hated each other. (They worked together on one dismal show in the 70's, "I can hear a waltz."
Bernstein does sound right, as Sondheim really didn't work with too many composers. Most of his stuff he composed himself. But I'll throw Jule Styne (Gypsy) in there for good measure.

Hey, my reply with the new question made it on. When did that happen? I kept getting an error message when I tried to post it last night. I'm glad y'all didn't have to wait. It seems sources may be disagreeing. The answers I was looking for were Richard Rodgers and "I Hear a Waltz." I've read about a much more positive relationship (Sondheim visiting Rodgers' house, etc.), but maybe it just became troubled when they finally collaborated. I remember one friend and I got along better as friends than roommates in college, so maybe it works the same with artistic types. So I guess Kid Prime gets it right -- for the wrong reasons. You're up, KP (and I promise to better research future questions).

What I heard was that Hammerstein was like a father to him, and that his relationship with Rodgers was significantly more cold. But yay! I won! Lessee...

OK next question is a lyric quote:
"As someday it may happen
That a Victim must be found,
I've got a little list,
I've got a little list:
Of Society Offenders
Who might well be Underground,
And who never would be missed,
Who never would be Missed!"
Name the show AND the character who sings this song.
(hint: it's not from Sweeney Todd, even though it rather looks as if it should be)
"Gee, Brainy, what do you want to do tonight?"
"The same thing we do every night, Bouncing Boy: try to take over the United Planets!!"

Damn, that was obscure.
The musical was "Around the World," and the original story was Jules Verne's Around the World in Eighty Days.

It took a little bit of thinking, but then I remembered who was a playwright as well as an actor (and an INCREDIBLE Edna Turnblatt!)

You are correct...although, Tommy Tune also won in four different categories...all musical (best featured actor in a musical, best choreography, best direction of a musical and best actor in a musical).
Still a win, so you're up Kid.

Another win for macrab2!!! She talked about it in her one-woman show, Elaine Stritch at Liberty! (Incidentally, she also beat out Bea Arthur for that Tony that year, showing that turnabout is fair play! Your turn!

This musical lost the most Tony awards during its original run (it has since gone on to be an award winning revival and movie).

Sorry about the stumper.
Anthony Rapp (Mark) was in A Beautiful Mind, and the next year, Taye Diggs (Benny) was in Chicago.
For another question... who was the only person to star in both the movie version and off-Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors?

I've got a new question ready, so:
The Broadway revival of You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown replaced a character from the original off-Broadway production with a different "Peanuts" character. Who was added, and who was cut?

Wasn't Peppermint Patty in the original production in the 60's? I think she was replaced with Sally for the revival.

Actually it was "Patty", one of the original "Peanuts" characters (I don't think Peppermint Patty existed yet when the off-Broadway production opened), but since you were nice enough not to complain about my posting this question without consulting anybody, I'll say: "Close Enough!"
"Gee, Brainy, what do you want to do tonight?"

No problem BRM. And I always seem to think that a reference to Patty is Peppermint Patty. Maybe I need to pick up that new Peanuts collection that was just released.
Who threw a dinner party that included such delicacies as pickled python, peppered sheep spleen, and owl eggs?

I'd just like to go off on a tangent at this moment and remind everyone that it is still not too late to order The Complete Peanuts vol. 1 from Fantagraphics. The book will reprint the first few years of the Peanuts stips, most of which have not been reprinted since hte original newspaper publication 50+ years ago.

Patty disappeared. Then came Peppermint Patty, who seemed to be from a different neighborhood than the original gang. She headed a rival football team. As for the dinner party question, I believe Mame threw such a dinner party.

But original writer Clark Gesner wasn't too happy with the swtich. He didn't see the point.) OK, OK, I'm up now. What? Owl eggs? I have no earthly idea! Rats!

Hmm... A musical question. What is the musical that these lines of song come from?
But he'll find it is not golden,
will not make him bold and brave.
Well, at least he'll find it useful

This is a group I don't normally do theater with because they're out of the way, but I would have done it for Seymour. My dad and uncle do theater there, though. They didn't call me either. When they didn't get a Mr. Mushnik they liked, they called up my uncle and asked him to do it (a practice I frown upon -- they should cast from those who audition -- I'm bitter about that from a different show ), They told him they liked my audition, but I was too tall. Of course, they could have been lying since he was family, and they didn't want to tell him they thought I sucked.

The great "Ragtime" lyricist Lynn Ahrens also did great things with words for which '70s TV pop culture phenomenon?

That would be Superman, in his guise as Clark Kent. Linda Lavin sang it on Broadway, Loretta Switt in the TV version (picked it up at Mid-Ohio Con -- scary).

Oh, god! I never knew there was a TV version. The CD is lots of fun, and some of the songs are very singable, but I can see why the show only lasted 126 or so performances.
Your question SS!

They did a TV version in the '70s. They messed with the plot a bit and moved the songs (the ones they used, anyway) around and superdiscofied (one of Clark's little-known powers?) them until they're almost unrecognizable. Loretta Switt was the best of the bunch. The no-name guy who played Supes was OK, but Lesley Ann Warren was WRETCHED as Lois Lane (worse than her screentest for the Superman movie, which was on the DVD they released a few years ago -- I like her in some things, but Lois she's not).
Jason Graae does a great version of "You've Got Possibilities" on his Charles Strouse tribute CD, "You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile" (and he looks rather fetching almost naked on the cover).
Anyhoo, on to the next question!
Two TV actresses have trod the boards as a girl named Fred. Who are they (in the original casts), and what's the show? (Bonus points if you know which famous musical writer this show's writer is the offspring of. Super bonus points if you know how the more recent star got her start on Broadway.)

Why, Carol Burnette and Sarah Jessica Parker played Winnifred, the lady so refined she could detect a pea under her mattress!
Mary Rodgers is the daughter of Richard Rodgers.
SJP became famous in Annie but her first credit is The Innocents in 1976.

I've never seen the TV version. I've heard tell of another TV version in the works, Proty II, with Burnette as the queen. Let's keep our fingers crossed. Of course, you're right on all counts. You're up!

The '72 version was okay, I guess. I liked it at the time. It was my first exposure to Bernadette Peters. It also starred Ken Berry and Jack Gilford. I don't remember any of the music from it.
Okay, Daniel McDonald left his role as All My Children's Dr. Brad Phillips to play a dead man on Broadway. What was the name of the Show?
For bonus points, what TV musical reunited two of the female cast members?

Did I make this too hard? Granted, it wasn't a hit show, but it did have choreography by Susan Strohman and great music by a very famous duo.
One of McDonald's song and dance numbers was "Second Chance", a fitting title since he's been given a second chance at life, even if it is only for three weeks.

I thought it might be Kander & Ebb's "Steel Pier," but I didn't know enough about the show to know if his character was dead.
As for the second part, Debra Monk and Kristen Chenoweth were in Disney's "The Music Man."

You got it, Seymore!
McDonald plays a pilot who died during an airshow before he could cash in his raffle ticket for a dance and a kiss with Lindy's Lovebird. Now he's got his "second chance".
All the action takes place at a dance marathon at Atlantic City's Steel Pier. I never saw the show, but it has some really nice songs. One of my life's missions is to turn people on to this show and I've given away two CDs as presents already.

(Sorry, got a small case of rellifeitis)
It does have some lovely music. I bought the CD after seeing the performance on the Tonys. I guess the liner notes just didn't stick with me.
As for the new question:
Which rock and roller is working on a spooky new musical with Stephen King?

I actually forgot that I had gotten this question... here's an easy one.
Stephen Sondheim was originally picked to write both the music and the lyrics for Gypsy. However, the producers' final decision was to bring in Jule Styne to write the music.
What was the reason for the change?

Boy, it's getting tough to come up with good questions.
Here's an easy one I adapted another online quiz:
Betty Buckley has had a remarkable career in show business. As a Broadway leading lady, she sang "Memory" in the original company of Cats, and most recently starred in "Sunset Boulevard" and "Triumph of Love." She has also made many films and toured extensively as a cabaret artist. In the late 1970s she was a regular character on what TV series and starred as a gym teacher in which iconic film and what were the characters' names?

She was Sandra Sue 'Abby' Abbott Bradford on Eight is Enough
And the gym teacher was Miss Collins in Carrie

Well, I won't tell you what gang this young man was a member of, but I willtell you that his daughter has the lead of a current hit TV series.
So,
Name the gangster, both actor & character
Name the gang he belonged to
Name the musical film he was in
Name the gorgeous daughter, actress & character
Name her TV series

I'm guessing you mean Russ Tamblyn, who played Riff, leader of the Jets in West Side Story.
His daughter is Amber, and plays Emily on Port Charles. Oh, wait. That was canceled. I guess you mean Joan on Joan of Arcadia.

Thanks, Portfolio Boy! As a soap fan and a Russ Tamblyn fan, that was kind of easy.
This question is dear to my heart as the first musiscal I was ever in was a high school productions of this show.
What was the name of the 1942 Broadway musical that featured the debut of comedienne Nancy Walker as "The Blind Date"?
Here's a hint: When Walker played the same role in the movie version the following year, another famous comedienne got top billing for playing herself.

"Cool, Cool, Conservative Men", from 1776. Nixon got the studio to cut it from the film but you'll happy to know it's been reinstated in the DVD version.

Funny thing. I first heard the part about the "well-endowered wives" before I really understood what a dowery was. So I used to think that the founding fathers were all about having wives that were, well... um, well endowered, so to speak.

I think that line was meant to be a double entendre but maybe that's just me.
Okay, speaking of songs that were cut from movies, what holiday is almost always excised from Holiday Inn when it's shown on television, and why?

After checking out different lyrics for "Holiday Inn", I'd say the answer is "Abraham" (A song about Abraham Lincoln. The reason is that in the lyrics is a derogatory term for African-Americans. (Probably worse than the N word)

I have to give it to Quislet for getting the right song. The whole number seems pretty dergatory to modern eyes with both Bing Crosby and Marjorie Reynolds in blackface. I'm sure it wasn't meant to be, just a product of another time. I've always wondered what a middle-aged guy in Connecticut was doing with his own Mammy. Portfolio Boy, you were on the right track but had the wrong song. I'm not even sure what movie has Going My Way! Maybe that can be your next question.... Ken

OK, On the Simpsons, can you name two musicals that Homer and Marge went to see. (And I don't mean musical episodes of the show)
I can think of two. One was a version of a real musical. The other was a made up musical.

Well, there was the musical versino of "A Streetcar Named Desire" that Marge was IN, but I'm not sure if it counts. But I KNOW they went to see the musical of "Planet of the Apes," starring Troy McClure as the human, and featuring the wonderful musical numbers "Dr. Zaius, Dr. Zaius," and "I hate every ape I see."
Oh, and the entire family went to see Carmen in the first season, but as that's an opera, I guess it doesn't count.

Good enough for me, Kid Prime.
I was thinking of the version of 42 Street starring Mark Hamil, where he sings "Luke, Be a Jedi Tonight" and the Betty Ford Clinic - The Musical!
now that you mention the Planet of the apes Musical, I remember it. That was a great one.

3-part question. Name the longest-running musical ever in New York City, the renaissance-era play it was based on, and the original playwright.

It was "The Fantasticks," which closed recently after an off-Broadway run of 42 years, an American record. Nearly my whole lifetime!
As to its being "based on" a single play, though, that's more problematic. It used a play by Edmond Rostand (who also wrote "Cyrano de Bergerac") from the 1800s, not the Renaissance, that itself was somewhat of a wry twist on Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet." It also borrowed, though, from other Shakespeare plays, such as his "Winter's Tale."

Oh, and the writers of the current musical were Jones and Schmidt (I tried to remember {grin} their first names).
I believe the musical has the world record, as well, by the way, or it may only be bested by Agatha Christie's "Mousetrap," which has been running in London's West End for at least 50 years.

Thanks, but I've had a Petula Clark fetish for years....
Okay, speaking of Sunset Blvd, This group's parody of Sunset Blvd morphs into "Ethel Merman" and the William Holden character singing a parody of "You're Just in Love."
1. Name the gang that does the parodies.
2. Name the original show that featured "You're Just in Love."

Okay, so the parody group in question does regular revues and has at least six CDs for sale (plus a special Hollywood edition).
One of my favorite numbers has Chita Rivera and Rita Moreno trading barbs to the tune of America from West Side Story.
Sometimes they even make up shows, like the muscial version of Anna Karenina:
Do you hear that train comin' round the bend
It means the tale of Anna is about to end
As I throw myself to my new address
'Neath the Achebad, Tblisi, and Kiev Express

I've finally had a chance to research part 2 of the question ...
Part 1 is easy: Gerard Alessandrini's Forbidden Broadway, specifically Volume 4, a.k.a. Forbidden Broadway Strikes Back!
Part 2: Call Me Madam by Irving Berlin.
"Gee, Brainy, what do you want to do tonight?"
"The same thing we do every night, Bouncing Boy: try to take over the United Planets!!"

"Chita & Rita" is fun, but I'm even more partial to the number that follows it on Volume 2, George Hearn singing "I Ham What I Ham".  And of course the Ethel Merman "tributes": "Curtain Up! Light the Cykes! And ya better turn off all the mikes! Cross your legs, Hold your ears, 'Cause no one leaves this room until I'm through! Honey, ev'rything's comin' up Merman For me, and for ... Me!"
"Gee, Brainy, what do you want to do tonight?"

I'll try another quote:

Our vicarious bonus,
We want to see his Highness
Married to your Lowness."
Name the show, and the character who sings this verse.

Hmmmm ... looks like it's time for a hint.
The quoted song was (disappointingly) cut from a recent New York revival of this show, but it definitely appears on the cast album of the original production.

That's from "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" (had to use the Web to jog my memory because I knew I knew it). My cassette of the OBC is buried, but I'm going to say Smitty because I doubt it was Rosemary.
The song is "Cinderella Darling," which I agree was a disappointment to see cut. It's a fun song.

Suddenly Seymour is correct, with bonus points for giving the title of the song (which is sung by Smitty and the female chorus to Rosemary early in Act 2).

Well, there's a book by Sondheim.
There's a DVD of the PBS performance.
and....

Okay, the Broadway musical was a backstage romance featuring Ray Walston as the Stage Manager. Here's the Oscar Hammerstein lyrics.
No other love have I
Only my love for you
Only the dream we knew
No other love
Watching the night go by
Wishing that you could be
Watching the night with me
Into the night I cry
"Hurry home, come home to me
Set me free
Free from doubt and free from longing"
Into your arms I'll fly
Locked in your arms I'll stay
Waiting to hear you say
"No other love have I"
No other love

I let this one go for a while to let someone who might actually know the answer get it, but since it doesn't appear there is anyone, here goes the Internet search.
Wow, that was still pretty tough.
The song was from "Me and Juliet" and the TV show was "Victory at Sea."

That's exactly right, though since Durwood brakes for WWII documentaries it's fairly well known around our house. In fact I cracked him up last time we were in SF. We were showing a tourist friend Fisherman's Wharf when Durwood spotted an old WWII sub on display. He was entranced, and I broke into a chorus of "No Other Love", the song they always played when shirtless sailors roamed the decks of their ships.
I've never actually seen Me and Juliet but I'm told it by those who have that it deserves better than being R&H's forgotten play.
Anyway, you're up, oh vegetative one.

Let's go with a simple question about my show! In the current incarnation of "Little Shop," one of the lead cast members is closely related to another performer who was recently hot stuff on Broadway.
Name them and their relationship.

Sure thing!
The other performer is related to the guy who plays Seymour (or at least did when the new version opened -- I never see anything about the show, but I doubt his contract was so short that he could have left yet).

I feel like I'm cheating since I never heard of any of these people.
Hunter Foster plays Seymore. His sister is Sutton Foster and his wife is Jennifer Cody. I'm guessing Sutton Foster was the one you were looking for, since Jennifer appears to have a replacement actress in all of her shows.
Sorry, SS, but I live in San Jose so I don't get to see many Broadway shows these days...

No need to apologize. They made a deal out of it during the Tonys the year Sutton won for "Millie" and he was snubbed for "Urinetown," so I thought that would have made it more common knowledge with theater geeks. I guess I'm just geekier than most. You're up!

I saw the Tonys that year. Isn't the the ceremony that ripped out Elaine Stritch's heart and stomped on it? Does anyone still wear a hat?
Okay, leaving Broadway behind for a moment...
The world cannot be wrong
If in this world there is you
I care not what the world may say
Without your love there is no day
1. What song contains these lyrics?
2. What movie had drag queens lip-synching that song.
3. Who was the pop vocalist who sang the song?
4. What famous actor/director wrote the song?
Feel free to jump in, folks...

So I guess this thread is pretty much toast, huh?
Here's sone clues.
The 1998 movie starred an actor who's been nominated for an Emmy four times and won once.
The female pop vocalist has appeared on Broadway and was mentioned recently in this topic.
The famous actor/director was disliked by Captain Edmund Blackadder.

Okay, the song was "This is My Song"
The movie was "Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss".
The pop singer who has appeared on Broadway is Petula Clark.
The song was written by Charlie Chaplin.
I'm throwing this open to anyone who wants to play.

I'll throw out a new question to try to revive this thread:
Which musical introduced the songs "I Hope That Somethin' Better Comes Along" and "I'm Going To Go Back There Someday"?
"Gee, Brainy, what do you want to do tonight?"
"The same thing we do every night, Bouncing Boy: try to take over the United Planets!!"
They're B.B. and The Brain ...

Maybe if you throw in something about the craven cowards in Spain someone will respond?

The Muppet Movie. Had the soundtrack on long playing record.
I don't have any tough questions, so I'll just go with what I know...

I just realized I'm being rudely assumptive about my answer. Sorry, I so rarely approach the rarefied atmosphere of actually getting an answer on any of these trivia threads...

For the record: "The Muppet Movie" was the correct answer to my question. As for the new Q ... there's something familiar about that phrase, but I can't place it. Probably from some show too new for me to be really familiar with ...
"Gee, Brainy, what do you want to do tonight?"
"The same thing we do every night, Bouncing Boy: try to take over the United Planets!!"

Armsfalloffboy's question is from "Rent." Here are some possiblities:
In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee. In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.

Correct. Sorry about the late response, but the network at my school has been down. Take it away, if you're still paying attention!
