Music Theatre Trivia Night
A Fundraiser for OzMade Musicals 2005
26 April, 2005


"The Hills are Alive, With the Sound of - ... ?"

Can you finish this sentence? Then come and flex your musical muscles at the Magnormos Music Theatre Trivia Night at the fabulously re-designed Capers Melbourne.

Hosted by Funny Girl Julia Zemiro (eurobeat - the eurovision musical, SBS's RockWiz) We Will Rock You with entertainment, information, and the opportunity to win great prizes including theatre tickets, theatre books, vouchers, and "All That Jazz", all in an effort to raise funds for the premiere showcase of Australian music theatre - OzMade Musicals. After all, "Money Makes the World Go Round."

With trivia categories including "Movie Musicals - music theatre immortalised in celluloid", "Stephen Squared - the musicals of Stephen Sondheim and Stephen Schwartz", "Sir Andrew - the musicals of Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber", and "Rodgers and Hart - the musicals of Rodgers and Hammerstein and Rodgers and Hart", you can get a dose of Fame by showing off your musical smarts.

And even if you really know your showtuntes, 'Song Scramble' will have you shouting 'Mamma Mia!' as we put the lyrics from one song and the music of another together and ask you to identify what the two songs are! Imagine hearing the lyrics from 'Memory' being sung to the tune of 'All I Ask of You' and you get an idea of what The Producers are doing.

Get together some Company and register in teams of up to 10 players, or come along and get matched up on the night, because we believe 'No One Is Alone.' There are plenty of opportunities for individuals to win prizes throughout as well.

Tickets are available online for $15.00 or at the door for $18.00. Group booking and fundraiser rates are available, contact [e-mail] for more information.

So... the night is young, the skies are clear, and if you wanna get trival dear, it's delightful, it's delicious (dinner and drinks are available from 6:30pm) it'll be de-lovely!

There you go, you got me back for beating you with the Lion King news.

I wonder what Oscar Hammerstein would think inclusion of his works in a category called "Rodgers and Hart"

The song scramble idea is clearly ripped off from "Spicks and Specks" on the ABC, where they have them sing songs with lyrics taken from instruction manuals and text books and the like.

But "Memory" to the Tune of "All I Ask of You" is gutless. I want to hear "Memory" to the tune of "I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major General"

Okay, so it ended up being Rodgers and H, which is rather kinder to the pair

And I rather enjoyed the Song Scramble round. Where else would you hear On The Steps of the Palace to the tune of I Dreamed a Dream, or I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face to the tune of Transformation from Jekyll and Hyde?

It was great seeing a few familiar faces around the place, too. And everyone congratulate our own Sally for doing so well for herself!

So who else went along? There must have been someone else from here, at least?

Shhhhh!!!! Can I change my displayed name again? *g* just kidding

So, I almost don't want to know, but anyone else there? It was fun. (And my HUAC notes do not at all mention Jerome Robbins. Yes I went and looked :
