The craziest (?) question was that the host, Jordan Brown, played brief clips of five actors singing the final "rise"s from The Ladies Who Lunch and you had to identify them. They were Debra Monk, Bernadette, Anna Kendrick, Christine Baranski and Tonya Pickens. We had Baranski and switched to Meryl Streep to our shame.
There were a whole bunch of questions about songs cut from shows or added to shows after the initial run. And, yes, there was a question where Getting Away With Murder was an answer. And the question was not "name the play Sondheim wrote".
"
Only tangentially related, but when Company got a digitally remastered re-release (the version that included Larry Kert's cut of "Being Alive"
, did Elaine Stritch's last "Let's here it for the ladies who lunch" (leading into "Everybody rise!"
sound really different than it had on the previous CD and cassette releases? It was like that one line had been tracked in from an alternative take.
