	Barry Bostwick was in the stage production of Grease? I had no idea.

	Here's a salute to the 8.5% who got one of the most underrated musicals of all time. (Sit down, John!...)

	@Tahnan, just FYI, Mary Poppins also went from movie to Broadway, and Hairspray the musical was based on a John Waters film (though it was not as much of a musical). :) There are also plenty of possibilities for a sequel (Sweeney Todd, The Little Mermaid, The Producers)... Great quiz!

	That's Sydney Chaplin, son of Sir Charles -- not Chaplain.

	@jon88- D'oh! That it is. Thanks for catching that.

	I felt bad when they replaced Julie Andrews in "My Fair Lady" with someone who couldn't sing, Audrey Hepburn had to lip synch the songs. Jeremy Brett also lip synched, and Rex Harrison, well, he never sang, just "declaimed". Not even fair to call it a musical. But then Julie Andrews stole lots of screen versions from Mary Martin.

	I'm slightly surprised that Mamma Mia! didn't make an appearance. Perhaps in the sequel?

	Five stars for just the mention of Bebe Neuwirth. What a FORCE.

	The early comments discussing the choice of Bebe Neuwirth instead of Gwen Verdon are getting it halfway wrong. If it wasn't Bebe that made it into the quiz, then it should have been Chita Rivera. (Chita Rivera played Velma in the original Broadway version, and Gwen Verdon played Roxie - and Catherine Zeta-Jones played Velma in the movie.)

	As a former singer/performer, I always felt bad for the people who originated the role on stage, but were bypassed for the screen version. But Julie Andrews got her revenge by winning an Academy Award for Sound of Music when the role of Eliza Dolittle went to Audrey Hepburn, who was stunning in that role.

	for "music man", you could've had "Robert Preston...Robert Preston"
