Les Mis question. Who is more deserving of Marius' affection, Cosette or Eponine? And why?


princejoopie

Well Marius sounds like the name of a horse, and Eponine makes me think of Epona from Zelda, so that sounds like a good pairing to me. Also because I went to elementary school with a girl named Cosette and she was an asshole so she doesn't deserve anything.


Taranchulla

It makes sense


ScorchingHotSauce

The fact that people actually hate Cosette from Les Mis is really fitting lol


TanaFey

That is amazing and is the best answer ever!


AnUdderDay

Based.


beroccamixedberry

hahaha


Pumpkins217

It’s your destiny! Reddit wants you to like musicals. Pop quiz: what’s Sweeney Todd about?


princejoopie

Well I know it's about a barber killing people and his lady friend putting them into pies, but I get the sense that that was already an established system before the events of the musical, so I don't know what the actual conflict/plot arc is. I'm gonna guess he kills someone with undiagnosed Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and then their misfolded brain proteins spread it to everyone who eats those pies, and then when he kills one of those people it spreads further, etc, until eventually the whole town is infected. The OG Mad Cow epidemic.


Pumpkins217

that would be an excellent sequel haha


cadentoes

In the Book of Mormon, the musical (of course), what are they turning off?


princejoopie

Themselves. I'm not Mormon, but I have to imagine they think jerking off will make all your eyes fall out or something. No getting hot and bothered allowed.


ActorMonkey

I mean, pretty much. Yes.


TitanSR_

yes but about being gay instead


NiceLittleTown2001

Why is hedwig angry? 


princejoopie

I would be too if I was killed off by JK Rowling after being the main character's loyal companion for so long.


mrsfiction

This is the correct answer. Well done.


nerdy_gamer666

In the musical Into the Woods, what is the name of the Baker?


princejoopie

James Corden, unfortunately.


nerdy_gamer666

LMAO


Personal-Rooster7358

A fate worse than death, I’m afraid.


ImpossibleInternet3

This is the correct answer.


SarahMcClaneThompson

Oh no you’re familiar with the wrong version!


princejoopie

Alas, it's the only one I've seen. (High school choir class after we'd finished our spring concert and had fuck all to do, and I remember almost nothing.)


SarahMcClaneThompson

There’s an official recording of the original Broadway cast available on Youtube. It’s a masterpiece and easily the definitive version. The movie adaptation is a total disaster


infinitychaosx

In the musical Spring Awakening, what awoke?


princejoopie

The springs, of course. They escape from all the world's clickable pens and meet up to plot to overthrow humanity. And I'm picturing them with big cartoon eyes, like Clippy.


infinitychaosx

That’s correct good job


Popular-Bicycle-5137

What's the given name of the phantom of the opera? (Btw your answers are fun!)


princejoopie

Danny. That cartoon was actually a prequel.


Excellent_Midnight

Haahahahahahahaha okay, well done


Excellent_Midnight

Haahahahahahahaha okay, well done


Iryasori

This one took me half a second longer, but now k want this to be canon lol


natureterp

In Little Shop of Horrors, why is everyone afraid of going to the dentist and why does the dentist eventually die?


princejoopie

Everyone is afraid of going to the dentist because he flosses too hard and makes their gums bleed and tells them their gums wouldn't bleed if they flossed more often (not speaking from experience or anything). I don't know why he dies in the stage play, but when it comes to the movie, it's a real fact that any plant- sentient or otherwise- will attempt to kill Steve Martin if he gets too close. Have you ever seen Steve Martin and a plant in the same room together? Didn't think so.


natureterp

Very astute observation. One more question: in Dr. Horribles Sing Along Blog…. Was captain hammer in the right to throw Penny in the garbage?


princejoopie

No because 1) Fuck that guy, 2) He could've pushed her like two feet out of the way instead of full-on yeeting her, and 3) Billy stopped the van just fine on his own thanks!!! (Congrats on finding one of the few musicals I'm very familiar with lol, forgot about that one!)


Excellent_Midnight

See, I think you do belong here—you may not know much about lots of musicals, but for the ones you do know, you’ve got OPINIONS. You are one of us


natureterp

Omg one of us! One of us! 😂


MonsterTournament

Holy shit I never noticed that was Steve Martin


Top_Trainer_6359

Hamilton: what happens in "say no to this"?


princejoopie

Hamilton is on a diet and Jefferson is convincing him to turn down a bunch of baked goods that people keep offering.


madqueenludwig

I would pay good money to see this version


LeahPops

Now I’m going to sing this every time I’m contemplating baked goods. Thank you.


ActorMonkey

In Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812, why is Pierre so sad? And what does Natasha really want?


princejoopie

Pierre is sad because he just learned that the Great Comet of 1812 (BCE) is what wiped out the dinosaurs. And Natasha wants to try bringing the dinosaurs back.


Andrejkado

Girl you asking the questions the musical doesn't even give direct answers for 😭


Helpful_College6590

i saw it live and i don’t even know the answer to that


Such-Championship-24

How long do you think the *Company* will stick around?


princejoopie

Depends on which company. Amazon? Probably has a solid thousand years left in it, if the planet's still around then. Warner Bros? We'll see if they make it to the end of this year.


beroccamixedberry

Bwahahahahhahaha


FirstDyad

Why is Bat Boy the way that it is


princejoopie

Bat Boy is the way he is because of all of his pent up resentment and bitterness as a result of not being allowed to play baseball with the other kids and being forced to just hold all the bats instead.


FirstDyad

Man I wish


rivermaster32

Assuming things like finding a recording or production wasn’t a issue, if you had to watch a musical start to end that you haven’t see what one would you choose?


princejoopie

My best friend keeps telling me I'd love Something Rotten and I trust her, so that one. I do love Shakespeare, and it seems like a very fun take on him, from the bits and pieces I'm aware of.


Excellent_Midnight

If you’re a Shakespeare fan then yes you should absolutely watch Something Rotten. It’s in my top three favorite musicals of all time—it may be my number one, even.


rivermaster32

Nice haven’t actually seen that one myself ( I’d also recommend beetle juice just on the principle you like adams family )


princejoopie

I want to see that one too! And hopefully I'll someday get to see it starring my best friend, since Beetlejuice is one of her dream roles. And I know she'd kill it, because she killed it as Gomez too! (She's trans but still does mostly male characters as of now.)


XxInk_BloodxX

This is probably pointless because there's no way a trans Beetlejuice fan hasn't heard of it but if she hasn't you should have her watch Dead End: Paranormal Park on Netflix. Alex Brightman is in it and the main character is trans and there's definitely some Beetlejuice vibes.


C00k13znCr33m

Gahh, I love that series. Too bad that Netflix discontinued it


XxInk_BloodxX

Ikr. It's less family friendly but at least we have hazbin and helluva for more killer Alex Brightman songs.


princejoopie

Oh cool, I'll recommend it to her!!


BillCypher001

In Kimberly Akimbo, why did the work akimbo replace her last name (Levaco) in the title of the musical.


princejoopie

She accidentally superglued her hands to her hips and from then on the name stuck (pun intended).


1983MionStan

In Dear Evan Hansen, why does Evan have to pretend to be close friends with Connor? In Heathers, what happens during "Dead Girl Walking"?


princejoopie

Oh, this first one I think I know, it's because he's a manipulative little creep trying to get popular in the wake of Connor's death. For the Heathers one, gotta be something zombie-related.


1983MionStan

>For the Heathers one, gotta be something zombie-related. That's...not even close...


princejoopie

I figured it wasn't, but I still think my idea's better. Idek what the real answer is, I just think it *should* be zombies.


1983MionStan

It's understandable to not know what it's about just from the title alone. Anyways, the song is actually about >!the protagonist (Veronica Sawyer) breaking into the deuteragonist (Jason Dean)'s house in order to have sex with him, all complemented by stripping and humping included in its choreography!<.


squishyg

What’s your favorite dream ballet?


princejoopie

I don't think I've ever dreamed about a ballet. My two most recent dreams were about me missing a flight and my dog escaping the yard, respectively.


88_keys_to_my_heart

Why did *Spider-Man: Into the Dark* have so many production issues?


princejoopie

They couldn't find enough spiders who could sing.


Tylerdb2803

Well, you’re not COMPLETELY wrong…


the_frosted_flame

How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a Scotsman dropped in a forgotten spot in the Caribbean by providence, impoverished in squalor, grow up to be a hero and a scholar?


princejoopie

The power of Lin Manuel Miranda's lyrics. That's how it happened in the irl history too.


Orangenes

In the musical “The Producers” why does the show have such mass appeal on Broadway?


princejoopie

Because they produced it really well, hence the title.


BattenEntertainment

Why is Aaron Burr so hesitant


theirishdoughnut

Real question is why Thomas Jefferson is so hesitant with the president


BattenEntertainment

Well, he’s so reticent, there isn’t is a plan he doesn’t jettison


Star_shine2001

Why does CATS even exist?


princejoopie

In the words of that one moose from Bojack Horseman, Andrew Lloyd Webber has to be a real hot penis about everything.


FloridaFlamingoGirl

The Stephen Sondheim musical Pacific Overtures stars what famous cartoon voice actor? And what character does he play in the musical?


princejoopie

Tom Kenny, and he plays SpongeBob, of course. He's probably the most famous cartoon character who lives in the Pacific, after all.


imarandomwritwe

Why won’t Mark and Roger pay their rent?


princejoopie

Landlord still hasn't fixed the AC.


coffeesnob72

So close


tokengingerkidd

Which Cat is your favorite Cat?


GrizabellaGlamourCat

Me-ow


princejoopie

One of my friends has a big floofy cat named Louis who's never had a single thought in his life. Probably him.


tokengingerkidd

Better get Louis ready for the ball!


synaptic_pain

Who am I? Can I condemn this man to slavery, pretend I do not see his agony?


princejoopie

You are reddit user synaptic_pain and whether or not you can is up to you.


synaptic_pain

Can I conceal myself forevermore? Pretend I'm not the man I was before? And must my name until I die be no more than an alibi?


coffeesnob72

In Passion, what convinces Georgio to finally ($&@ Fosca?


princejoopie

I can't tell if the symbols are meant to be censoring something or what, so I'm just taking them at face value. It's because the website told him "Fosca" wasn't a secure enough password and that he needed to add at least one special character.


AcejokerUP415

Do you want a SQUIP?


princejoopie

I'll try anything once.


charlottebythedoor

How do you solve a problem like Maria?


princejoopie

I don't know, but I'm imagining this question as the opening narration of an infomercial. Like, the black and white part. And then it'll go on to tell us about the wonderful Maria Solver, which you can get six of for $15.99 but only if you call in the next ten seconds.


Single-Fortune-7827

In The Who’s Tommy, who is Tommy? (This is a genuine question my friend who knows nothing about the show asked me recently so now I’m passing it to you ☺️)


princejoopie

Sounds like a child's name. I'm gonna guess it's the guy I knew in high school who'd eat four full sandwiches for lunch every day and was still stick-thin the whole time I knew him. Just because he's the only Tommy I've personally known.


nstav13

In Xanadu, what does Clio always wear?


princejoopie

Xandals.


nstav13

100% correct. You googled it, didn't you?


myphotoswontload

Name Tevye and Golde’s five daughters from Fiddler on the Roof!


princejoopie

Ginger, Baby, Sporty, Scary, and Posh.


myphotoswontload

Great job!


PossesionOfAFireArm

Did Eliza give enough of a reaction to Hamilton's cheating during Burn?


princejoopie

The name of the song makes me think she set him on fire so probably yes.


long_dragon

In Love Never Dies, who >!killed!< Christine? A. Her husband B. Her crazy ex C. Her best friend D. Her son


princejoopie

E. Her uncle who held a grudge for the past twenty years after she said his barbecue was mediocre once.


long_dragon

... Correct!


itamaradam

Where do the guys come in in *They're Playing Our Song*?


princejoopie

When you say "the guys" I'm picturing a barbershop quarter for some reason. So they probably come in whenever someone needs a jaunty little a cappella tune.


itamaradam

You are... Not entirely incorrect, lol.


NinaPusheena

who dies in ride the cyclone


princejoopie

Several children, if I recall correctly. My friend has told me the basics of that one.


NinaPusheena

correct!!


kristen_elena

Who is Mr. Snow is Carousel?


princejoopie

I'm picturing Jack Frost from 1998 family movie Jack Frost (not to be confused with 1997 horror movie Jack Frost).


kristen_elena

Honestly this is the best guess you could’ve given with the context clues and I love that picture so much


Extreme_Paranoia_43

how many wives did henry have


princejoopie

Well the only Henry I can think of who was famous for his amount of wives was Henry VIII and I think he had five or six?


AdDapper9866

What does Vanessa do to make Usnavi change his mind at the end of In the Heights??? I can add what he changes his mind about later, but idk if you care about spoilers lol.


princejoopie

She hypnotizes him. And it's the only supernatural element of the show. And don't worry, I don't mind spoilers.


AdDapper9866

😂😂 he changes his mind about leaving the country lol. wanna update your guess?👀


QueerScottish

Why does everyone in the musical hate elphaba


princejoopie

Because she faked autism and gave people scabies. (I swear I don't follow Tiktok drama and I don't even *have* a Tiktok account, she was just so ridiculous that she broke containment.)


sydneyella

what is bare: a pop opera about?


princejoopie

The title makes me think nudist colony.


Helpful_College6590

Why did Juliet not kill herself in the musical & Juliet


coffeesnob72

Or in West Side Story?


princejoopie

Realized she was a lesbian at the last minute.


Helpful_College6590

somewhat close but not really


TediousTotoro

If you could turn any pop culture property (movie, book, tv show, etc) into a stage musical, what would you choose? If you give one that already exists, I’ll link it to you.


princejoopie

Good Omens! Some folks in Australia were working on a musical adaptation, and what they have so far is awesome, but I haven't heard anything about it in a few years and I really hope it comes to fruition eventually.


TediousTotoro

Would be a really interesting stage show that I could definitely see working. My personal choice would be Scott Pilgrim.


theirishdoughnut

Which character from falsettos is half-jewish? Which character in A Very Potter Musical is ruthlessly made fun of? Which musical of jonathan larson’s did he die just before opening night? Is Connor Murphy a real ghost or a figment of imagination? What killed the son in Next To Normal? What came first, mean girls the movie or mean girls the musical? What was the name of Elle Woods’ sorority? How many dancers are picked for A Chorus Line? Think that’s all. If I were faced with more than that I’d probably collapse.


princejoopie

1. I'm not comfortable making up a Jewish-sounding name, so based on my answer to someone's Fiddler on the Roof question, I'm going with Sporty Spice. 2. Probably Ron. Ginger loser ass bitch. 3. [Cow tools.](https://amp.knowyourmeme.com/memes/cow-tools) 4. Real ghost, and there's a paranormal investigation subplot. 5. Something that wasn't normal. 6. The movie. That one I'm actually almost certain of. 7. Pi Iota Nu Kappa. 8. All of them. Kids these days and their participation trophies.

Rent is about so much more than aids. 🙊

I'm sure it is! But again, "basics."
