Jeopardy Broadway Catagory

Watched the early telecast on Channel 55

My God, were those questions easy. Why not do a Wildhorn catagory or one on flop musicals?

They were still easy

People who go on Jeopardy are supposed to know a ton of stuff

It is on here right now... the first was about Grey Gardens

Edit: They just finished the category... and all of them were extremely easy.

A. It was about their relation to which former first lady,
Q. Who was Jackie Kennedy

They went through the Broadway category before the first commercial, so if anyone wants to tune in they should get there early

Bumping this because "On Broadway" was a category on tonight's Jeopardy. They exhausted it before the first commercial.

There was a Wicked question tonight that asked "Which show has the 'Behind the Emerald Curtain' tour?"

The clues were mostly about straight plays -- one involving the President involved in a series of 1977 interviews with David Frost (hiding the title 'Frost/Nixon'), one involving Angela Lansbury's return to Broadway in Terrence McNally's 'Deuce' concerning what sport, and the name of Eric Bogosian's play about an acerbic talk show host revived in 2007.

There was also the aforementioned 'Behind the Emerald Curtain' tour question, and the fifth was about quirky kids like William Morris Barfee participating in "The 25th Annual Putnam County" what.

EDIT -- Here's the actual clues as written:

$200 - Memories of Watergate infuse the play inspired by David Frost's 1977 interview with this ex-president
$400 - Quirky kids like William Morris Barfee compete in "The 25th Annual Putnam County" one of these contests
$600 - When in New York, take the "Behind the Emerald Curtain" tour, a behind-the-scenes look at this bewitching musical
$800 - Angela Lansbury returned to Broadway in 2007 as a former champion in this sport in Terrence McNally's "Deuce"
$1,000 - Revived in 2007, it's Eric Bogosian's play about an acid-tongued talk show host

Was the Phantom video clue the shot with that guy Jimmy on the boat rowing through the candelabras as he asked the question?

Cool. I was there when they filmed all the Phantom ones. They must have done about 10 of them, this was probably 3 years ago. Interesting to see they're still using them. I've only gotten to see two of them on TV before. We were at the theatre until about 4am that night, but it's still one of my favorite Phantom experiences to date.
