From Quiz Inside Information on Hit Songs From Musicals

Answer: "There's No Business Like Show Business"

Yes, the anthem of musical theatre was originally written merely to be performed in front of the curtain while the scenery was changed for the musical "Annie Get Your Gun." By the way, when somebody referred to "Annie Get Your Gun" as old-fashioned, Composer-Lyricist Irving Berlin replied, "Yes, an old-fashioned smash."

5. "You can like the life you're living, you can live the life you like." What show is this from?

Answer: Mushnik

Mr. Mushnik is the florist who owns the shop where Seymour works, and over the course of "Suppertime", the plant convinces Seymour that Mushnik knows too much about their murderous plan.

8. "The ______ are alive with the sound of music" - what is the missing word?

From Quiz Guess the Musical!

9. The prisoners in "Les Miserables" sing as they work. Which word is missing? "Look _____, look _____ Don't look 'em in the eye Look _____, look _____, You're here until you die"

This musical was based on the novel of the same name, published in 1862, by Victor Hugo. The story follows Jean Valjean, prisoner 24601, after his release from prison. This song, "Look Down", opens the show. Before I saw the show, I was very skeptical that the complexity of the novel could be captured on a stage, but was convinced before the first act was over.

10. In which duet do Mr. and Mrs. MacAfee bewail the difficulties of parenting teens? "With their awful clothes and their rock an' roll! Why can't they dance like we did What's wrong with Sammy Caine?"

12. According to "The Making of No, No, Nanette" by Donald Dunn, the show's producer liked this song's 'dummy lyric' so much he had the song performed that way on stage. What song am I referring to?

From Quiz Inside Information on Hit Songs From Musicals

Answer: "Tea for Two"

Yes, "Tea for Two" begins "picture you/upon my knee/just tea for two/and two for tea." That was a 'dummy lyric,' which was used to figure out the rhyme scheme for the song. Lyricist Irving Caesar said it made no sense: "How can they be having tea if she's sitting on the guy's lap?" But the producer of "No, No, Nanette" loved the lyrics as is, and it was sung just that way in the show, and out as well, ever since. By the way, "No, No, Nanette" is one of the few Broadway shows that lasted longer in its revival (1971) then its original production (1925).

13. I'll give you the lyric to the song, and you tell me which show it belongs to. "Nobody ever treated me kindly. Daddy left early, momma was poor."

From Quiz The Songs that Go Like This

Answer: Little Shop of Horrors

This song is from "Suddenly, Seymour" where Seymour assures Audrey that he will keep her safe. "Little Shop of Horrors" tells the tale of dorky flower shop janitor, Seymour, who has a passion for rare plants. One day while in China Town he finds a very rare and odd plant that, he later learns, lives off blood. Because the plant is giving the store such great publicity, Seymour is forced to give the plant what it wants, blood. Seymour finds himself in a world of trouble as his plant forces him to murder ones that are dear to him. "Little Shop of Horrors" was nominated for a Tony in the year 2004 for Best Actor in a Musical for Hunter Foster. "Little Shop of Horrors" made its Broadway debut on October 2nd, 2003, even though it had been Off-Broadway for almost twenty years prior to this point.

14. This song is from "The Phantom of the Opera", and it's sung between Christine and her little dancer friend just before Christine meets Raoul. But I can't remember the name of the song! What is it?

Answer: Angel of Music

"The little dancer friend" is Meg Giry. The song finds Christine confiding in her friend about "the angel of music", even though Meg is a little dubious.

17. What reprise does the chorus sing as Anna tearfully watches the King die? "He'll always need your love And so he'll get your love- A man who needs your love Can be Wonderful."

From Quiz Death, Musically

Answer: Something Wonderful

"The King and I" opened on Broadway in 1951. The lyrics were written by Oscar Hammerstein II, and the music composed by Richard Rogers.

18. Which song do Pseudolus and Hero sing to describe what Pseudolus wants more than anything? "Can you see me as a Roman with my head unbowed? Sing it good and loud! ______!"

From Quiz Same Gender Duets

Answer: Free

"A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" opened on Broadway in 1962. Zero Mostel played the part of Pseudolus is both the original Broadway performance and the movie version created in 1966. The score was the first time Sondheim wrote both lyrics and music.

19. According to "Sondheim & Co." by Craig Zadan, after this song was written, the lyricist regretted some of his lyric choices. What song am I referring to?

From Quiz Inside Information on Hit Songs From Musicals

Answer: "I Feel Pretty"

Stephen Sondheim, the lyricist of "I Feel Pretty" regretted the internal rhyming scheme in the song: "It's Alarming/How Charming/I Feel." He decided that Maria, a non-native speaker, wouldn't be able to talk that way. But the song had already been inserted into "West Side Story", so it was too late to change it. By the way, "West Side Story" was not the immediate hit on Broadway many assumed it was. It opened to mixed reviews and in fact lost the Tony for Best Musical that year to "The Music Man".

20. What show/song is this beautiful lyric from? 'In a life where nothing seems real, I have found you, I have found you.'

From Quiz My Broadway Melodies

Answer: "Miss Saigon"- "Last Night of the World"

"A song, played on a solo saxophone. A crazy sound, a lonely sound, a cry, that tells us love goes on and on. Played on a solo saxophone, it's telling me to hold you tight and dance, like it's the last night of the world." Quite possibly the most beautiful song in the show, Chris and Kim sang 'Last Night of the World' on their wedding night.

21. This song is called "If Mama Was Married", I remember that, and it's two girls singing how great it would be if their mom got married again. What's it from?

The song is sung by June and Louise, whose mother has forced them into show business, and they think if their mother would just get married again and settle down, everything would be fixed.

22. "Motherhood March" was left out of the film version of what musical?

From Quiz Match the Musical

Answer: Hello, Dolly!

Dolly, Irene Malloy, and Minnie Fay sing this in an effort to distract Horace Vandergelder from noticing that his two employees, Cornelius and Barnaby, are hiding in Mrs. Malloy's hat shop.

23. In the historical epic of a musical "Ragtime", Coalhouse Walker Jr. walks to his death after singing which song that is equal parts rousing and tearful?

From Quiz Kill Me Now

Answer: Make Them Hear You

Coalhouse Walker Jr., distraught over the death of his girlfriend (and mother of his son) Sarah, turns against the town that has mistreated him due to his race. He escalates, ending up in New York holding people hostage, where he realizes that he can't turn himself in without being killed in the process. Rather than risk the lives of his men, he decides to face death, and tells his followers to simply spread the word of the injustices done to them.

24. What is the title of the sequel to 'The Phantom of the Opera'?

From Quiz Guess the Musical!

Answer: Love Never Dies

'Love Never Dies' opened in London's West End in March 2010 and closed in August 2011. It is set 10 years later when Christine has married Raoul and they have a son, Gustave, but with a few twists in the story - is he really Raoul's son?

25. According to "As Thousands Cheer: the life of Irving Berlin," Irving Berlin got the idea for "You're Just in Love" from?

From Quiz Inside Information on Hit Songs From Musicals

Answer: One of his own songs

In 1950, Irving Berlin was trying to come up a new idea for a song for "Call Me Madam." Bing Crosby, and his son, Gary had just had a hit record with "Play a Simple Melody," an old Irving Berlin song with a counterpoint melody that is played and sung the same time as the main melody. Therefore, Mr. Berlin created "You're Just in Love," another song with a counterpoint melody, and it became the smash of the show. By the way, "Call Me Madam"'s playbill contained the following comment: "The play is laid in two mythical countries. One is called Lichtenburg, the other is the United States of America."

26. Since this is one of my easier questions, you'll get a smaller lyric. "Sweet intoxication." What iconic show is this beautiful lyric from?

From Quiz My Broadway Melodies

Answer: The Phantom of the Opera

"Floating, falling, sweet intoxication. Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation. Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in to the power of the music that I write. The power of the music of the night!" Yes, of course, this hauntingly beautiful lyric is from 'The Music of the Night.' A spectacular song from a spectacular show!

27. This show's "song that goes like this" is the only song in the show where there is more than one person singing. What is the name of the show?

From Quiz The Songs that Go Like This

Answer: The Last 5 Years

"The Last 5 Years" is about a man and a woman who fall in love, and it follows their journey from first date, to marriage, to divorce. This show is not like most because of the fact that the only two characters in the show are only together at one point in the show, which is during the song "The Next Ten Minutes". "The Last 5 Years" opened Off-Broadway on March 3rd, 2002.

28. Someone said there was a song added to the original London production of "Into the Woods" that's an alto/soprano duet... what was its name?

From Quiz Alto-Soprano Duets

Answer: Our Little World

The other three are songs from "Little Shop of Horrors", "The Phantom of the Opera", and "Parade". This song was cut from the show but was intended to be a duet between the Witch and Rapunzel. The London cast recording does have a copy of this song.
