Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The author of the CCBB book is mostly famous for...?

Answer: The James Bond books

True, the author is none other than Ian Fleming!

2. Originally, Caractacus was meant to enter the stage much more dramatically, but this method was eventually rejected. What was it?

Answer: By parachute

During the earliest previews, Michael Ball did indeed come sailing down by parachute, but was eventually rejected because of danger risks. A minor explotion is certainly safer! LOL

3. What did the cast rehearse with before the fine four-fendered friend arrived at the theatre?

Answer: Fold-out chairs and a soup bowl

If you've read Nichola McAuliffe's earliest entries in her diary at the official website (http://chittythemusical.com) this should be obvious. :-)

4. What colours are the feathers in Caractacus' hat in the doll-scene?

Answer: Green and red

Although one would rather watch the man with the hat instead of the hat itself... ;-)

5. What is it Caractacus exclaims before the dance routine of "Me Ol' Bamboo"?

Answer: "Oh, that's all I need - Folk dancing!"

This is a tough one unless you have a very good memory after seeing the show, or listen to the recording often.

6. What street is the London Palladium located at?

Answer: Argyll Street

Okay, so I had to look up that information myself. ;-) (I have a lousy memory for adresses.)

7. What colours are the uniforms to the London Palladium staff?

Answer: Red

And quite handsome men they are, too. ;-)

8. How old was Emma Williams when she was cast in the role of Truly Scrumptious?

Answer: 18

Yes, at the mere age of 18 Williams got a theatre contract, a bigger fanbase and the right to get kissed by Michael Ball every night... Can't help envying her, uh? ;-)

9. What are the names of Truly's sisters?

Answer: Madly and Deeply

This one sure got a couple of chuckles from the audience...

10. How many times does Caractacus utter the word 'Scrumptious' in the song "Truly Scrumptious"?

Answer: 4

Now, did you sing the song through before you answered? ;-)

11. Okay, now some finishing of song lyrics! "I couldn't do more than you do for your poor ____"?

Answer: father

12. "Just speak English: ____!"?

Answer: Jolly good

13. "There is magic in the wake of a ____"?
