Musicals: Something in Common Trivia Questions

1. In "Oklahoma", Will Parker had just gotten back from what major Midwest community?

From Quiz
Musicals That are Going Places

Answer: Kansas City

"Everything's up to date in Kansas City," sings Will. While Kansas City did have a major population boom in the early 20th century, it was still at 51,000 in 1900. Chicago has a massive boom in the decades after the Great Fire and had 1.7 million people by 1900, making it one of the world's largest cities. It also had numerous skyscrapers. Saint Louis was also a huge city by 1900, with 575 thousand people. It hosted the World's Fair and Third Olympics in 1904. Dallas's population doubled in the early 20th century, but it was still under 100,000. Everything would not be up to date in Dallas for several decades.

2. In which musical will you hear the song 'Where is love?'?

From Quiz Questions in Musicals

Answer: Oliver!

Oliver, the eponymous hero of the musical by Lionel Bart, sings this song alone on the stage. The story is based on the Charles Dickens book 'Oliver Twist', about a young orphan making his way in the world in Victorian London.

3. In 'Fiddler on the Roof' Tevye's daughter Hodel sings this song to him as they wait for the train to take her to Siberia. What is the name of the song?

From Quiz Neglected Songs from the Musicals

Answer: Far from the Home I Love

Perchik, the man who Hodel loves, has been sent to Siberia and she is determined to join him there. In the film a wide area with no signs of life is shown, and they are waiting by the railway track in the middle of nowhere. The train stops and Hodel gets on and it is very evident that she will be travelling a very long distance and may never see her father or family again. The music was written by Jerry Bock, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick.

4. Which musical features the songs "Donkey Pot Pie", "The Ballad Of Farquaad", and "Beautiful Ain't Always Pretty"?

From Quiz Musicals: From Screen to Stage

Answer: Shrek

Everyone's favourite ogre/donkey team head off to save the princess. The show has run on Broadway and the West End as well as US and UK tours.

5. In the classic Rodgers and Hammerstein musical 'South Pacific', the subject of which song is described as 'A hundred and one pounds of fun'?

From Quiz Musicals on the Menu

Answer: Honey Bun

In one of the funniest moments of this show Nellie Forbush dresses in drag as a sailor and sings about her sweetheart 'Honey Bun' who is represented by Luther Billis, also in drag, during a Thanksgiving cabaret performance. 'South Pacific' debuted on Broadway in 1949 and was a huge commercial and critical success. It is loosely based on the book 'Tales of the South Pacific' by James A. Michener, including elements of several of Michener's original stories. The show takes place in the Pacific theatre during World War II and interlaces several stories involving American service personel stationed there and their interactions with local residents. Two of the major stories focus on the relationship between American nurse Nellie Forbush and wealthy plantation owner Emile De Becque and the doomed love affair between Marine Lieutenant Joe Cable and a young Tonkinese woman called Liat. While there are many light moments in the play it does also deal with the serious issues of racism as well as focusing on some of the darker aspects of war.

6. Interestingly, this particular hybrid tea rose, orange on orange, actually has two Broadway related names, although it is the same cultivar from the same hybridizer. Which two Broadway performers share this rose?

From Quiz Rose Names Associated with Broadway Musicals

Answer: Victor Borge/Michael Crawford

The rose was hybridized by Pernille and Mogens Olesen in 1991, and was introduced in Denmark as "Victor Borge". It was initially made available to growers in the US under that name. However, in the UK, it is known as "Michael Crawford". It has yet another name, not related to Broadway. In Germany, it is known as "Medima". Victor Borge, also known as "The Great Dane" made a career of misappropriating music, to the delight of his audiences. His skill made it possible to lampoon his talent, playing a piece of sheet music with a look of confusion, until he turned the page upside down. He would then play a piece easily recognizable by the audience, which would respond with howls of laughter. Although not strictly a Broadway musical, his one-man show, "Comedy In Music" ran there from 1953-1956 for a total of 849 performances, earning him a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records. When performing non-comedically, his talent was unmistakable. As a guest conductor, he led many well-known orchestras, including the New York and London Philharmonics. Michael Crawford is probably best known for his role as The Phantom in Broadway's "Phantom of the Opera", although he has been involved in many stage plays, as well as television and motion pictures. This includes a young Michael playing the role of Hero in the film adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's Broadway musical, "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum". As to the other pairs, Sam Waterston and Gene Autry are Hollywood actors, often portraying cowboys. Fred Rogers is Mr. Rogers, and Bob Keeshan is better known as Captain Kangaroo, both hosts of children's television shows. Brooke McEldowney and Berke Breathed are both cartoonists. McEldowney is the creator of "9 Chickweed Lane" and "Pibgorn", and Breathed is the creator of "Bloom County".

7. "Once in a Lifetime" is a song from the 1961 musical "Stop the World - I Want to Get Off". What British actor originated the role of Littlechap, the protagonist who asks this musical question?

From Quiz Once in a Lifetime

Answer: Anthony Newley

The show played almost 500 performances in London's West End, then moved to New York, where it enjoyed an even longer run. It's about a man who marries his pregnant girlfriend, then strays from her to the arms of other women before returning to his wife.

8. Night falls on the Paris barricades, and most of the men get some rest. One man, however, stays awake, praying over the sleeping form of his future son-in-law and asking God to bring the younger man safely home from the battle to come.

From Quiz I Say a Little Prayer

Answer: Les Miserables

The specific song being referred to here is "Bring Him Home", from near the middle of the second act. What begins as a quiet prayer eventually reaches an anguished cry, with Jean Valjean pleading to God, "If I die, let me die, let him live". In the end, Valjean adds to the divine request with a more direct intervention, eventually carrying the wounded Marius away from the barricades and through the Paris sewers to safety.

9. Which musical was based on a film that was initially released in 1950?

From Quiz "Applause" vs. "Sunset Boulevard"

Answer: Both

"Applause" had as its source the film "All About Eve," which premiered on October 13, 1950. "All About Eve" grossed $4,200,000 in its initial run and went on to win six Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Supporting Actor. "Sunset Boulevard" was based on the film of the same name, which premiered on August 10, 1950. "Sunset Boulevard" grossed $2,500,000 in its initial run and garnered three Oscars, including Best Writing.

13. In what musical would you find the line "and with the sun in the morning and the moon in the evening, I'm alright"?

From Quiz Musicals: From Screen to Stage

Answer: American Psycho

I was lucky enough to see this dark take on toxic masculinity in London with Matt "11th Doctor" Smith as Patrick Bateman, and don't mind telling you I cried at the end! It has since opened on Broadway. The musical and the film are both based on the book of the same name by Brett Easton Ellis.

30. The 1959 musical "Fiorello" starred Tom Bosley as Fiorello H. LaGuardia, famed twentieth century mayor of a major US city. Which one?

From Quiz Musicals in History

Answer: New York, NY

If you have heard of LaGuardia Airport, you probably knew the answer to this question! Most of the scenes of the musical take place in New York City, where Fiorello is first a lawyer, then elected Congressman, and then finally elected mayor. Although Bosley, as Fiorello, was the star of the show, his singing can only be clearly heard in "Unfair" and "The Name's LaGuardia" as Fiorello is more of a speaking role than a singing role. "Fiorello" co-starred Patricia Wilson as Marie and Howard Da Silva as Ben Marino.
