Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Complete the line: "Howl at the stars..."

Answer: Whisper when you're sleeping

This is from the song 'Whistle Down the Wind'. Immortalised by Tina Arena it is possibly one of the most well known songs in the show.

2. "Those good girls never know what they're missing. But us bad girls..."

Answer: almost always do

This is from the duet 'Tire Tracks (and Broken Hearts)' sung by Candy and Amos. There is a reprise of this in Act II, but with Swallow singing instead of Candy.

3. "I got a plastic flower, so it will never..."

Answer: die

This is from the song that Boyzone had a hit with, 'No Matter What'. The children give Jesus their most precious possessions; a pretty bracelet, a mirror and a glass of fireflies (to name but a few).

4. "There's a feast waiting for you, and you've never even gotten a..."

Answer: taste

This is from the song 'A Kiss is a Terrible Thing to Waste'. Amos sings the main part, with Swallow and The Man joining in throughout.

5. "Or do you only see the blackness there, that's the..."

Answer: nature of the beast

This is from the hauntingly beautiful duet between Swallow and The Man, 'Nature of the Beast'. He confesses the truth about his past to her, but still believing that he is Jesus she won't stop trusting him.

6. Fill in the Gaps: "The lonely girls who yearn to love, and learn to...and..."

Answer: kiss and dance

This line is taken from the very moving 'Soliloquy' performed by The Man, which is reprised in the second act.

7. "Towers of... rise ever higher"

Answer: fire

This is from the much repeated chorus of 'When Children Rule the World', which is now quite a well known children's song and was recorded by Donny Osmond.

8. "If only...were laughter, if only night was day"

Answer: tears

This line is from 'No Matter What', and is one of the lines that remained unchanged in the version that Boyzone recorded.

9. "Try not to be..., so many things can happen."

Answer: afraid

This is a line from the duet between The Man and Swallow 'Try Not To Be Afraid'. This is one of the first songs in the second act.

10. "If you go deep down inside my eyes, do you see a..., a... or even a...?"

Answer: savior, prophet, priest

This is another line from 'Nature of the Beast'. Swallow's naive innocence frustrates The Man as, regardless of what he says, she refuses to believe that he isn't Jesus.

11. Name the song: "The nights have been growing darker, so much darker now than sin."

Answer: The Vaults of Heaven

This line is from the opening song 'The Vaults of Heaven'. This is one of the few scenes where the entire cast (including the chorus of children) are on stage together.

12. "The stars are all gone and even the sun is cold." What song is this from?

Answer: Cold

This is from the song 'Cold'. It is sung by Ed and Sam at the town bar in Act I.

13. "There's no way out, and all my prayers are fading one by one." What song are these words from?

Answer: Soliloquy

When this song is reprised in Act II the ending changes to: "There's no way out and all my prayers are loaded in this gun."

14. "If we don't screw up, we could save his life." These lyrics are from which song?

Answer: When Children Rule The World

"Then this could be the night. When children rule the world." Brat and Poor Baby sing this to the rest of the children.

15. "Look closer and you'll see that I'm scared too. Scared of staying, scared of leaving, scared of losing you. I am not who you think I am."

Answer: Nature of the Beast

This is actually spoken rather than sung. 'Nature of the Beast' is one of my favourite songs and my favourite scene in the musical.
Swallow: "I'm not afraid you taught me that."
The Man: "You're a fool. Why can't you see?"
Swallow: "I'm not listening to a word you say, it was God sent you to me. I know you're only trying to scare me, so that when you leave I won't follow."
The Man: "Look closer and you'll see that I'm scared too. Scared of staying, scared of leaving, scared of losing you. I am not who you think I am."
Swallow: "You can say what you want. I know who you are!"
