The only information I can find lists Boston (starting 1-13-64) and Philadelphia (starting 2-4-64) tryouts before transferring to Broadway. Several working titles are listed, but "The Luckiest People" is not one of them.bpmod wrote:That's my guess.jeff6286 wrote:I'm guessing that with the Yentl guess, Sean must have known that it was a Streisand song, but not known what musical it came from.
I haven't looked it up, but "before it hit Broadway" implies that the show played somewhere else prior to being on Broadway. I think the spelling of the category was a clue: England, perhaps?jeff6286 wrote:Is there any particular reason why they wouldn't have just called this category Broadway Musicals instead? There's no difference between Broadway Musicals and Musical Theatre, is there? Well, I guess musicals that aren't shown on Broadway would belong to one group and not the other, but there probably aren't too many of those that would ever be the subject of an FJ clue. I wonder if anyone would get a bit thrown by the use of one or the other of those terms as the name of a category.
And, as usual, I could be completely off-base.

I know they sometimes use spellings as a clue, but I don't think that's what they were doing here. I know that I tend to use "theater" for a building or performance space and "theatre" for the genre--maybe that's what they were doing.
