Yes, I wish I had been able to give partial credit for that question.

Congratulations. You should be proud (There are many Pride questions, one of which is stumping most quiz-takers)

Theater Quiz for June 2025

The nearly-universal consensus seems to be: Maybe Happy Ending, Cole Escola and Jak Malone.

Remember the poll I posted a while back about which 2025 nominees should win the Tonys? (Preferences not predicions.)

My new post lists the results of the poll, plus my personal preferences, and my reasoning. 

 

2025 Tony Awards: Who SHOULD Win, and Why

 

I thought this was a relatively easy quiz, if you've been following all the Tony publicity, and indeed five people got a perfect score, including all the bonus question answers.  But the same number of people got a perfect zero. 

Answer these ten questions, plus a bonus question, in this quiz about the nominees for the 2025 Tony Awards. 

 

The Tony Awards Quiz

 

Good idea. I've added an "Other" to the options, so you can write it in. (or you could have if you hadn't already taken the poll)

Make your pick for 12 of the 26 categories in the 78th annual Tony Awards

This poll is for who and what YOU want to win, not who you think the Tony voters will pick — preference, not prediction.

2025 Tony Award Winners -- YOUR picks?

Yes, "Dear Bill" from Operation Mincemeat has gotten a phenomenal number of write-in votes. Putting all the differently-phrased entries together, it got the most number of votes. 

This was not a scientific poll, and, as I told one of you who contacted me, there is no easy way to alter a Google Form after the fact. But what I did do is mention this astonishing result in my post 5 Takeaways from the Broadway 2024-2025 season.

One of the trends I write about is: The Irreverent was relished

(and I cite "Operation Mincemeat" as one of the examples) 

I follow that trend with a countertrend The sincere was revered.

And then I add:

"It’s worth mentioning that even audiences of ‘Operation Mincemeat” have singled out the one song in the show that isn’t silly or slapstick: “Dear Bill,” a sweet ballad sung by  Jak Malone about a love lost in war.  (See, for example, the absolute avalanche of write-in votes for “Dear Bill” in my Broadway Showstopper poll.)"

 

The Dorian Awards just announced their nominations, which includes a category for The Broadway Showstopper.

Which scene or musicsal number from the shows that opened in the 2024-2025 season would you select?

Take the poll.

It is good, Yankee. The median score (so far) is 52, which is 20 points lower than usual.

People seemed most thrown by the questions about the screen stars making their Broadway debuts, and about the shows hat opened in April that are set in NYC. (For both questions, there's no partial credit, which seems unfair)

This turned out to be a tougher quiz than I intended. Sorry about that. 

How well were you paying attention to the 2024-2025 Broadway season, and the final dozen plays and musicals that opened in April by the Tony deadline? Can you identify lines of dialogue and lyrics? Take this quiz and find out.

How come nobody has boasted about their score?

An apparently easy month, except for question 7, about 4 Off-Broadway shows

 

Theater Quiz for March 2025

How well were you paying attention to the theater news, views and reviews in March?

Seven plays and 11 musicals are opening on Broadway in March and April, over the final six weeks of the Broadway 2024-2025 season, starting Monday and ending on April 27, the final date of eligibility for this year’s Tony Awards. Of these, which play, and which musical, are you most looking forward to?

I guess this is an easier quiz than I thought. Everybody got question 4 correct, which may be a first.
