Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Where is the luxury liner that the show takes place on sailing to and from?

Answer: from New York City to England

The majority of the characters were American, all going to England for different reasons. Only one of the lead characters, Sir Evelyn Oakleigh, was actually British.

2. Who of the following was not mentioned in the song "You're the Top"?

Answer: Vincent Van Gogh

"You're the Top" is sung by Billy and Reno, and is in my opinion one of the best songs in the show. They each try to "top" the other with compliments.

3. Fill in the blank from the song "Friendship": "When other friendships have been forgot, ours will _____________!"

Answer: still be hot

This is probably the most famous song from the play, sung by Reno, Billy, and Moonface.

4. What is the name of Moonface Martin's assistant?

Answer: Bonnie

Bonnie is Moonface's sidekick. She is always after men, and sings the songs "Heaven Hop" and "Let's Step Out". In the revival, her name was changed to Erma.

5. Who is Snake Eyes Johnson?

Answer: Public Enemy Number One

Snake Eyes Johnson is America's most dangerous criminal, who was supposed to be on the ship with Moonface and Bonnie, but never made it on. During much of the play Billy is mistaken for Snake Eyes, leading to many chases. James Hill was the alibi Snake Eyes held.

6. What public enemy number was Moonface?

Answer: Thirteen

He hopes to get up to six or seven.

7. Which song is sung between Sir Evelyn and Reno?

Answer: Let's Misbehave

The meaning of this song is pretty obvious. It's my favorite in the play! "Take Me Back to Manhattan" and "Blow Gabriel Blow" are both sung by Reno and the chorus, and "De-Lovely" is sung by Billy and Hope.

8. Which of these songs appeared in the original version of "Anything Goes" but was cut from the revival?

Answer: Heaven Hop

"Heaven Hop", sung by Bonnie, was cut from the revival and replaced by "Buddy Beware". (Don't ask me why, I like "Heaven Hop" better.) The other three appeared in both versions.

9. Fill in the missing "fallen angel": Purity, Charity, Chastity, _______.

Answer: Virtue

The four Angels are Reno's backup singers.

10. What was the name of the Chinese girl with whom Sir Evelyn had a "romp in the rice"?

Answer: Plum Blossom

There is an absolutely hilarious scene at the end involving her.
