Immunity Challenge 3
Here are how the teams stand.

Munchkins
Kim from MISS SAIGON
Bobby Strong from URINETOWN
Joanne from COMPANY
Rod and Princeton from AVENUE Q
Marvin from IN TROUSERS and FALSETTOS
Annie Oakley from ANNIE GET YOUR GUN
Desiree Armeldt from A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC
Mr. Trevor Graydon from THOUROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE

Ozians
Elphaba from WICKED
Tracy Turnblad from HAIRSPRAY
Maureen Johnson from RENT
Angel from RENT
Audrie from LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS
Thénardier from LES MISERABLE
Tobias from SWEENY TODD
Berger from HAIR

Answer all four questions for each character.
Reminder of the questions for immunity
1. What musical they are from.
2. What type of role the character has in the musical
Leading Role
Featured Role
3. What importance the character is in the show.
4. Who originally played the character on Broadway (NOT THE WEST END)

Please do elaborate on question three. I didn't make it very clear what I wanted. Some people did a sentence while others did a paragraph on it. If you can tell me how important the character is in one sentence fine, if you can tell how important the character is in a paragraph then fine. The point of the question of importance is if the character was gone why would the play/musical not be able to function. (Has to be a little harder then last week.)

1.Peter Pan
2.Edna Turnblad
3. Frank 'N' Furter

yeah, I think I was pretty dang close....so don't vote for Kim/Pinky

[jjdude2000]

Posted: 4/28/05 at 9:05pm

Wait, Maude Adams originated Peter Pan in the PLAY, not the MUSICAL...Just a little thing, but I was wondering, should that count?

[smartpenguin78]

Posted: 4/28/05 at 9:14pm

I actually had the musical answer first and musical lover told me that was not what he was looking for. So I have it even earlier if you want to go with the musical answer.

[jjdude2000]

Posted: 4/28/05 at 9:16pm

Oh, okay. Not directed towards you , but to musicallover. it was just a thought.

[smartpenguin78]

Posted: 4/28/05 at 9:28pm

I really thought it as well, why my original answer was for the musical, but that was Musicallovers trick the question was who originated the role on Bway, never mentions musical so the originator was definitly in the play. I think we need to give lover major kudos on it!

Posted: 4/28/05 at 9:39pm

8 hours and counting

[musicallover2008]

Before this immunity challenge I am going to make clear what I want.

Since I have 4 questions for three characters, I am going to use one from before to illustrate.

For instance one of the characters in the last immunity challenge was Frank ‘N’ Furter.

1. What show is the character from.
Answer- Rocky Horror Show
2. What size of role does the character have.
Answer- Leading
3. Why is the character important to this show?
Answer. The outer dimensional creature who holds Brad and Janet in his house and builds the monster, enabling the other action to occur, also kills Eddie and his death is an essential plot point
4. Who originally played the character?
Answer- Tim Curry
Question three of the four is to see how well you know the character. If you just say something like Trevor Graydon is Millie’s boss, that doesn’t show that you have answered why the character is important. Trevor Graydon has other people in the show that he converses with so I need to know these things. That is why I have decided to set a point system up for the rest of the challenges. Here is how it will work. Each challenge will be open for a half hour. After that the person with the highest point value will win immunity.

Here is how it is set up.

Question 1- 1 point
Question 2- 1 point
Question 3- 5 points
Question 4- 2 points

If you have any questions or comments please email me.
