Answer correctly and ask your own question. Then whoever answers that question correctly offers another question, and so on.

What writer appears as a character (under his or her own name) in two different Broadway shows?

No, George Bernard Shaw is not correct.

The person is a character under his (or her) own name in two musicals based on the writer's books. One of the two shows has a Cy Coleman score.

I can't figure out how Mactor's post wound up getting attached to this thread.

Correct, Ed. Patrick Dennis is a character in Cy coleman and Carolyn Leigh's Little Me and in Jerry Herman's Mame because tehy're based on his books.

Ed, you get to ask the next question.

What do Ann Sothern and Lucille Ball have in common?

They both took "Ethel Merman roles" in film versions of her musicals. Dubarry was a Lady and Panama Hattie?

Who did Hal Prince originally approach to write PARADE before Jason Robert Brown?

Yep, Ann Sothern for Panama Hattie and Lucille Ball for DuBarry Was a Lady.

Your turn.
