Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. By the end of the play, how many princesses had been tested by the Queen?

Answer: 13

"The Princess in the true story was not the only girl put to the test. Actually, she was one of 13 girls - girls who came to the castle hoping to wed the Prince, but who, for one reason or another, were found to be unsuitable."
Found in the very first line of the play, excluding the opening song.

2. How many scenes are in the entire play?

Answer: 18

There are nine scenes in Act One, and nine in Act Two.

3. What is Winnifred's favorite color?

Answer: Huckleberry

Quite an odd color. This is stated during the scene where the ladies of court are helping Winnifred pick out a dress.

4. What question did Princess #12 miss in the opening scene?

Answer: What was the middle name of the daughter-in-law of the best friend of the blacksmith who forged the sword that killed the beast?

Wow. Quite a mouthful. This is quite an unfair question. It was presented in the opening scene by the Wizard.

5. "Bring in the Nightingale of __________" What word is missing?

Answer: Samarkand

Icolmkill is where Winnifred is from. Avalon is from King Arthur's tale. I made up Dresgard. The Nightingale is another thing designed to tire Winnifred.

6. "King Sextimus will never talk, until the ________ devours the hawk." What word is missing?

Answer: Mouse

The Jester repeats this multiple times, including the final scene where the King recovers his voice. The mouse is Dauntless, the hawk is Queen Aggravaine. Get it?

7. When is Larken's baby due?

Answer: November

She states this during "In A Little While."

8. "Sure, I'm Prince Dauntless, the ______." What word is missing?

Answer: Drab

Gotta love that name. Drab- characterized by dullness and monotony. Dauntless mentions this title when he is first introduced to Princess Winnifred.

9. What is the name of the dance that the people all take part in? (As written in the original script.)

Answer: The Spanish Panic

This is the dance intended to make Winnifred tired. While the Carol Burnett version says Polish Panic, the script says Spanish Panic. Pretty sneaky sis.

10. What is the name of the guild to which the Wizard belongs?

Answer: Camelot Local 714

The Wizard mentions this when the Minstrel brings up his past. This is the only scene in which the Wizard's past is mentioned.
