Sorry, love. I couldn't find enough male adult entertainment last night and I found this more exciting.

Punish me, Phyllis!

WTF class focuses on material THIS esoteric?! This can't be Musical Theatre 101...

What is this, THEATRE QUEEN SYMPOSIUM or something? Those questions are VERY VERY difficult even for walking encyclopedias like us.

Great job, blaxx!

My mis-spelling of the legendary Mr. Orbach's was a typo and not lack of knowledge I assure you. This was fun!!! Of course after I finished I read the thread and realized a) a LOT of people had beat me to it and b) I got one wrong! hee hee

thanks for all the help everyone!

Just because cicero172 just joined, we are supposed to discriminate and not speak to him/her? Is there a cool kids group that I don't know about? Where is the lunch table and why wasn't I invited?? It's so childish! Besides, this riddle was really lots of fun to figure out and we helped him/her in the long run. No skin off of my back.
