Cast and Characters Trivia Questions

1. It's 1943, and baritone Alfred Drake is approaching wearing a cowboy hat and cowboy boots. When asked "Why are you wearing that, Alfred?" who does he say he is playing?

From Quiz
Why Are You Wearing That?

Answer: Curly in "Oklahoma!"

Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Oklahoma!" opened on Broadway for the first time in March 1943, with Drake as cowboy Curly, Joan Roberts as love interest Laurey, and Celeste Holm as Ado Annie. The setting was rural Oklahoma in the early 20th century, just before the territory achieved statehood. Memorable songs included "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'", "The Farmer and the Cowman", and the title song. Subsequent performers of Curly have included John Raitt, Howard Keel and Hugh Jackman, as well as Gordon MacRae in the 1955 movie version. The incorrect choices all made their Broadway debuts after 1943, and none involved cowboy attire.

2. Which actors originated the roles of Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly in the 1975 premier of "Chicago"?

7. A popular Broadway show tells about Kim, who just got "pinned" to Hugo, but who now has been chosen to share a TV kiss with a famous rock star. The show is called "Bye, Bye, Birdie!" but what's Mr. Birdie's first name?

16. In the musical "Les Miserables," what relation does Eponine have to Thenardier?

From Quiz Musical Relationships

Answer: daughter

This question should have been obvious to anyone who has read the book. However, if you haven't read the book, this still should have been fairly logical. When we first meet the Thenardiers' (1823, Montfermeil) after "Castle on a Cloud," Madame Thenardier primps up young Eponine after chastizing young Cosette. "Eponine, come my dear, Eponine, let me see you/you look very well in that little blue hat/There's some little girls who know how to behave/and they know what to wear/and I'm saying thank heaven for that."
