Answer: "Cats"

"Cats," another musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber, is based on poems from the collection, "Possum's Book of Practical Cats" by TS Eliot. It doesn't really have a plot, but it's a lot of fun. One really well known song from "Cats" is "Memory."

This show is amazing. Some songs are, "You Can't Stop the Beat," "Big, Blonde, and Beautiful," and "I Know Where I've Been."
6. This musical is about a bunch of random dancers who are trying to audition for a Broadway show. Name the musical.

Answer: "A Chorus Line"

"A Chorus Line" is a hilarious musical about a group of dancers who are trying to make it on Broadway in the chorus. As the audition goes on, they realize connections between some of them and a funny musical quickly turns into a dramatic show. Some of my favorite songs are "At the Ballet" and "One."
7. This musical is about a Jewish community called Anatevka. It focuses on the traditions of the town and the people who break them. What is the name of the musical?

Answer: "Fiddler on the Roof"

"Fiddler on the Roof" is a funny, yet moving musical that focuses on a man and his family in the Jewish community of Anatevka. His daughters break many traditions, which causes the family to fall apart. Some good songs are "If I Were a Rich Man," "Sunrise, Sunset," and "Tradition."

9. This musical is an amazing deconstruction of a classic story by showing it from another character's point of view. Name the musical.

Answer: "Wicked"

"Wicked" is the deconstruction of the classic story "The Wizard of Oz." The protagonist is Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West. The story shows her journey to becoming the Wicked Witch of the West, from high school to when she "melted." Some amazing songs include "Popular," "Defying Gravity," and "For Good."
