Musicals H-N: 'N' Trivia Quizzes

Here you will find quizzes on stage musicals whose titles start with the letter N, and for which we do not have enough quizzes to justify setting up a separate category for each one. If you find a favorite musical here, perhaps you'd like to write another quiz on it, so it can have a category of its own.
