Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Let's begin at the beginning. What is Roger's first word in the rock opera "Rent"?

Answer: This

"First shot Roger, tuning the Fender guitar he hasn't played in a year!"
"This won't tune!"
"So we hear. He's just coming back from half a year of withdrawal."
"Are you talking to me?"
"Not at all!"

2. What's the first time Roger sings "I'm writing one great song..."?

Answer: Tune Up #1

In "Tune Up #1", Roger sings "I'm writing one great song..." before Mark cuts him off to announce the phone is ringing. The same thing occurs in "Tune Up #2". Between "Tune Up #3" and "One Song Glory", Roger sings "I'm writing one great song before I..."

3. Are these lyrics from "One Song Glory" correct? "One song before the sun sets, glory -- on another empty life. Time flies and then no need to endure anymore. Time dies."

Answer: No

I combined the first time he says "time flies" with the ending. The lyrics should read: "One song before the sun sets, glory -- on another empty life. Time flies-- time dies. Glory -- One blaze of glory. One blaze of glory --glory."

4. Complete this line: "I mean, you do--have a nice____________".

Answer: I mean, you look familiar

"You're staring again."
"I mean, you do--have a nice--I mean, you look familiar."
"Like your dead girlfriend."
"Only when you smile, but I'm sure I've seen you somewhere else."

5. Which of these lines is NOT said by Roger in "Today 4 U"?

Answer: Look, it's Santa Claus

Mark says "Look, it's Santa Claus." All of the other lines Roger says to Collins at the beginning of "Today 4 U."

6. "What" is Roger's first word in "La Vie Boheme."

Answer: True

"Mister--can't you go--not tonight--can't have a scene."
"What?"
"Go, please, go. You! Hello sir--I said, 'no,'--important customer."
"What am I, just a blur?"

7. "And Mark Cohen will preview his new documentary about his inability to hold an erection on the High Holy Days." What are the High Holy Days?

Answer: The time between Rosh Hashanah and the end of Yom Kippur

As a fan of Roger, hopefully you looked up what he meant by "the High Holy Days." Mark, being Jewish, probably observes the ten days between the Jewish New Year--Rosh Hashanah--and the Day of Atonement--Yom Kippur. If I tricked you with "the time between Yom Kippur and the end of Rosh Hashanah," then think about how long that time would be--355 days!

8. According to Roger, Mark hides in his work from which of the following?

Answer: loneliness

"From what?"
"From facing your failure, facing your loneliness, facing the fact you live a lie. Yes, you live a lie! Tell you why. You're always preaching not to be numb when that's how you survive. You pretend to create and observe when you really detatch from feeling alive."
"Perhaps it's because I'm the one of us to survive."
"Poor baby!"

9. According to Roger, how did Muffy (Alison!) find out about Mimi?

Answer: A little bird told her

"Then again, maybe we won't screen it tonight."
"I wonder how Alison found out about Mimi."
"Maybe a little bird told her."
"Or an angel."

10. Part of "Musetta's Waltz" is incorporated in "Your Eyes."

Answer: True

Despite what Mark said in "La Vie Boheme" about Roger's song not reminding them of "Musetta's Waltz", Roger adds it in before he holds the name "Mimi" out for at least eight seconds.
