It’s Tony season and who better to educate us about the wonderful world of theatre than
Thomas S. Hischak, author of The Oxford Companion To The American Musical: Theatre, Film and Television. Hischak is a Professor of Theatre at the State University of New York College at Cortland. He is the author of sixteen books on theater, film, and popular music as well as the author of twenty published plays. In The Oxford Companion To The American Musical Hischak offers over two thousand entires on musicals, performers, composers, lyricists, producers, choreographers and much more. Below are the answers to this morning’s quiz.
1. Harvey (1944). It was also her last Broadway credit.
2. Liza Minnelli in The Act.
3. Into the Woods. Book by James Lapine, music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim.
4. Pipe Dream.
5. South Pacific (1949). The four winning performers were Mary Martin, Ezio Pinza, Juanita Hall, and Myron McCormick.
6. Fosse was the winner. The other revues were The Civil War and It Ain’t Nothin’ But the Blues.
7. Wonderful Town (1953).
8. Les Misérables and Starlight Express. He won for the first.
9. The Sound of Music (1959). Six of the seven Von Trapp kids were nominated for Best Featured Actress and the eldest Von Trapp, Lauri Peters, was nominated separately. They all lost to Patricia Neway as the Mother Abbess in the same show.
10. Angela Lansbury.

Here's a totally gush-tastic review from teensreadtoo.com on the new Bloomsbury collection, FIRST KISS (THEN TELL):
Author Cylin Busby has brought together some of young adult's funniest and most talented authors to reminisce about their real-life first kisses (or the second, or the third, or the twenty-fifth). In a collection that ranges from funny to bittersweet, from cringe-worthy to downright disgusting, this is one anthology that is guaranteed to have you laughing out loud.
A slimy first kiss that wasn't even wanted, the breathless anticipation of a first kiss that never came, and the first kiss horror stories that should exist nowhere but in nightmares -- the authors hold nothing back when it comes to their memories (that is, when they can actually remember).
The book is also interspersed with quizzes about kissing, lists including historical kisses in movies, funny (but sometimes not-so-helpful) first kiss advice, and much more. It's a quick, easy read that's sure to appeal to both girls and boys, young and old. And since a portion of the proceeds from sales of the book benefit NPR's Youth Radio, you'll be doing both yourself and other teens a favor by picking up a copy of FIRST KISS (THEN TELL).
Aw, thanks Jen!
Obvs I can only take credit for my teensy, tiny part of the compendium, but still--flattery will get you everywhere.
