Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Jewish family endeavor to stay alive Is from which drama?

Answer: Fiddler on the Roof

"Fiddler on the Roof" is a depiction of Tevye and Golde, a Jewish couple with five daughters, living in Anatevka. Living in the small Russian town, the story starts by describing how "Tradition" helps them live while the world around them changes.
2. Danny and Sandy, high school students, fall in love musically where?

Answer: Grease

The musical is set in 1959 at the start of a high school year. Danny and Sandy had met over the previous summer, and the show takes us through the year as they figure out that "We Go Together".
3. Audrey II's a plant eating everyone in sight in which horror show?

Answer: Little Shop of Horrors

Unsuspecting Seymour finds a unique plant which he names for the girl he loves (though they work in the same flower shop, she's unaware). The flower promises that if he'll just "Feed me, Seymour", the plant will give Seymour anything his heart desires. But what the plant really wants to eat is first blood and eventually people, planning to take over the world.
4. "Never met a man I didn't like" is from which musical folly?

Answer: The Will Rogers Follies

Produced in a style reminiscent of the Ziegfeld Follies, this is the story of the life of Will Rogers. For many who never had the opportunity to hear him, the show brings to life the cowboy whose philosophy was all about what happens when you "Give a Man Enough Rope".
5. A declaration signed by thirteen states in all is which Broadway show?

Answer: 1776

The story in this musical concludes with the signing of the "Declaration of Independence" by the original thirteen states of the US. As the story unfolds, the audience is provided glimpses of the lives of John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and other founding fathers while they hatch "The Egg".
6. The slave Pseudolus attempts to win his freedom in which funny show?

Answer: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum

The performance begins with "Comedy Tonight", and the audience learns that there will be "Something for everyone". Pseudolus, owned by Hero, wants to be free. They make an agreement that Psuedolus can earn his freedom by helping Hero win his love, Philla.
7. Matchmaker Dolly Levi from Yonkers, New York, is in which musical?

Answer: Hello, Dolly!

In "Hello, Dolly!" matchmaker Dolly Levi wants to get married to Horace Vandergelder. Horace wants to marry Irene Molloy. Dolly will eventually succeed, but first she has to clear all of the obstacles in her path "Before the Parade Passes By".
8. Will Sir Lancelot's lust destroy his loyalty to King Arthur's realm?

Answer: Camelot

King Arthur and Guenevere fall in love and are married. But Arthur's work to bring together all of the best and bravest knights goes awry when Lancelot and Guenevere fall in love. As his plans fall apart, Arthur begs the audience,

"Don't let it be forgot
That once there was a spot
For one brief shining moment that was
Known as Camelot."
9. The Cotton Blossom brings river shows to a dock near you in which show?

Answer: Show Boat

The story line of "Show Boat" starts with a young Magnolia Hawks falling in love with gambler Gaylord Ravenal. Though the show starts on a light note, several under currents are at play as well, while the couple tries to figure out "Why Do I Love You?".
10. A show's audition for a new Broadway chorus is which musical?

Answer: A Chorus Line

When the show opens the audience is invited into an audition for the chorus of a Broadway production.

The final number, "One", has all of the selected chorus perform the number in costume.
