One-question quiz

The instantly-recognizable logo from this famous musical is an image of a costume item that is never actually worn by any character in the show.

(This is just for fun. You may disagree with my answer.)

The roller skates in the Funny Girl logo. The number was cut, but they kept the skates in the logo.

Olives, that's a great one. But not the same one I was thinking of.

The Phantom of the Opera. The phantom wears a mask which covers the side of his face, rather than the logo's mask, which covers the eyes anh nose.

While I didn't start the quiz, I'm thinking that's not it, only because ChrisLS said is NEVER actually worn, so the mask (in whatever form) would be out. But on that subject... why is there a rose in the phantom logo? Just because it's a love story (of sorts...) I've seen the show a few times over the years and don't remember any rose coming into play. Am I totally wrong here?

Well, the red flapper dress in the Millie logo never makes an appearance on stage...

I had assumed that the dress in the Millie logo was just some kind of earlier version of the red dress she does wear in the show, for Gimme Gimme.

The only show logo I can think of that is simply supposed to be an article of clothing- as in not even someone wearing it, is Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, but ive never seen the show so I wouldnt know if it gets worn.

Yes, Joseph does wear the Dreamcoat.

Bret guessed the one I was thinking: Phantom Of The Opera. The phantom does not wear the white, masquerade-type mask that appears in the logo. He has instead an asymmetrical mask that covers half of his face.

DT, good question about the rose. I can't think of any roses in the show. Let's just agree that it's the most misleading logo EVER!

I think the Millie dress in the logo was used in La Jolla, but not after.
