Buzzfeed's Broadway Musical Quiz

Did anyone see this? I did it anyway and passed. But, it's very questionable because any show that starts with the words A or The count for those letters versus how most people categorize them. It also didn't accept every show.

Little Me was on Broadway twice, and buzzfeed wouldn't take it as an answer.

That's because apparently they've never heard of any L musicals. I tried at least 5 that have been nominated for Best Musical and weren't accepted.

The 20 year old kids who created it don't know much, honestly.

Yah I put several L musicals that weren't accepted as well. Also, I tried the iconic flop "In My Life" for I and it wasn't accepted. Not really sure why U and V aren't separated, and same with X and Y. Also, there IS a Q Broadway musical (Quilters), but they just chose to skip that letter.

It’s also VERY picky. Like “the.” Instead of lion King you have to put THE Lion King and so on and so forth. Also they think it’s THE Bandstand when there is no “the” in the title. It’s the smallest and pickiest thing but I’m just spitting facts.

It wouldn't take Little Women for "L" or "I Do I Do" for I

I got every single one until Z when it wouldn't accept Zorba, then it told me that was the answer. My results were "Yikes! You know nothing about Broadway musicals." BuzzFeed is dumb

Oddly, L had me a bit stumped too after it wouldn't accept Lestat. I even checked my answer because I was so sure it had been one.

I was wondering about Bandstand. Weird. And Finian's Rainbow was also not accepted.

It took me ages to get one starting with a D, especially since it refused Do I Hear a Waltz, Dracula and Dance of Vampires!

It cracks me up that L was such a stumper since a show that starts with it is "The World's Most Popular Musical".

Its not buzzfeed that makes most of these...its ordinary people. And this was likely some 15 year old drama geek who believed he knew everything about musicals.

Between the missing legit shows and the commenters not knowing the difference between off or on Bway, it was quite the read.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Yeah, I realized after I remembered an L show that was recognized, the obvious did make me go duh. It's actually fascinating when working on a list like this of what your brain comes up with that's so random, but you forget easy ones. That happened to me on another one with countries of the world.

And yes, reading the comments on this was interesting as well because of people thinking of musicals that played off-Broadway or elsewhere that are very well known.
