I got a 9 out of 10. I learned a lot about Sondheim from doing the musical "Side by Side by Sondheim".

NameInLights, JohnPopa, Son/Gunn...great job guys!!

Princess...You missed the Avenue Q Quiz several weeks back. Brush up on the past musicals, you won't go wrong. Last week's quiz was all about the current Broadway, too.

Princess, I don't even like Sondheim but if you want to know about musicals and their development in the past half century, it's sort of important to know or at least be passingly familiar with his stuff.

Seeing as, in my humble opinion, Sondheim is the greatest musical composer/lyricist of our time, it's only a LITTLE crucial at least know who he is. Just a thought, Princess.

well of course I know who he IS, I love WSS, Gypsy, and Into the Woods and everything...I just am not familiar with Company, A Little Night Music, Merrily we Roll Along, Follies, or Anyone can Whistle. Sorry!! I;m still learning =)

Me neither, they aren't the most well-recognized of the Sondheim collection.

A trip into one book that I own will find me all the answers to get 100%. I decided not to cheat, and be honest I got 6/10.

Princess... it is funny that you say current shows after the 60s. And I am looking at those and I believe that all of them except WSS were post 1960.

And on another note.. I GOT A 100! The second time in my life I ever got a hundred! lol lol
