Broadway Trivia

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.

re: Broadway Trivia

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?
