Drink Pairings for Musicals

Last night as I was trying to sleep, I started thinking "What would be the appropriate drink for various musicals. Of course, I started with Sondheim. Other suggestions? How about Kander & Ebb or ALW?

SATURDAY NIGHT - college beer like Lucky Lager
WEST SIDE STORY - Puerto Rican rum and Coca-Cola
GYPSY - fancy French champagne
FORUM - Roman wine
ANYONE CAN WHISTLE - Evian water (comes from a pipe, sounds French and is "naive" spelled backwards)
DO I HEAR A WALTZ? - Venetian spritz
COMPANY - Ice cold, dry martini. Alternates: vodka stinger or warm orange juice
FOLLIES - Champagne cocktail (using an old recipe)
A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC - champagne and strawberries (but NOT your best champagne)
PACIFIC OVERTURES - Tea
THE FROGS - Greek wine, of course (The lead IS Dionysus!)
SWEENEY TODD - London gin
MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG - Gin & tonic, presented with a twist
SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE - More beer!
INTO THE WOODS - Hard apple cider
ASSASSINS - a shot
PASSION - bitters
ROAD SHOW - mislabeled booze served with an umbrella

Sideshow - A double anything

IF/THEN - whiskey, neat.

Only problem with anything fancy and Company is that you would want to do a spit take kinda thing during Ladies Who Lunch. Maybe you could have two glasses.

These count even though the shows closed out of town

We Take The Town - Tequila

Pleasures & Palaces - Vodka

Aspects of Love - armagnac

I thought this was really dumb, but I am enjoying it. Here are a few more:

Flower Drum Song and Pacific Overtures -- Sake

The Music Man and Annie Get Your Gun -- Sarsparella (sic) or Root Beer

Sweet Charity -- Pineapple Ripple

Do I Hear a Waltz -- Bellinis

Over Here -- Rum and Coca Cola

Gypsy -- to me is more like beer from the tap or Chinese Tea

Follies -- Spiked Punch

Honeymoon in Vegas - Watered down drinks by the slots

Anya - Vodka, vodka, clear cold vodka.

The Sound of Music - Tea with jam and bread

Gigi- Champagne

Kean - Grog

The Girl Who Came to Supper - Cordon Rouge and Châteauneuf du Pape

How to Succeed - Coffee

No, No, Nanette - Tea for two

Pousse-Café - Pousse-Café

70, Girls, 70 - Coffee in a cardboard cup

A bottle of Vodka and a straw?
