What do the final scenes of THE KING AND I and FANNY have in common?
Hint #1: Ashes to Ashes
Does the tough but heart of gold hero die?
My parents used to have the OBC record of FANNY and I remember looking at the jacket and seeing a heavier Florence Henderson's picture, but I do not know the story of FANNY. I know there is a non musical film of the same story.
I know it takes place at the little boy's party. I think Panisse does die, doesn't he?
CONGRATULATIONS, Glebb!!!
Yes--both THE KING AND I and FANNY end in death scenes. (There was of course, Billy's suicide in CAROUSEL, but that wasn't the final scene.)
Now for your bonus points: What two cast members of the original production of SOUTH PACIFIC were also in the original cast of FANNY?
This is so vague to me. Pinza and ?
Looks like we have a "triple threat" today--Glebb, Magruder and Wildcat ALL share the honors!!!
And what a prize I have for you three: Report immediately to the docks at Marseilles--you're about to go on a long, long, sea voyage...
Oh, and Wildcat--welcome to the Trivial Pursuit Winner's Circle!
