	It would be much more helpful to have the second clue be something that has to do with the musical, because most people would know what they are famous for. Maybe even just the year would suffice.

	Also, what about Johnny Depp in Sweeney Todd?

	Jason Alexander was in the movie version of Rogers and Hammerstein's Cinderella, technically, but I guess you're not including movie versions? Otherwise, great quiz!

	Really good idea. It scares me a bit that Ricky Martin was in Les Miz.

	You should really specify what you mean by "musical". I think you mean musicals which had Broadway runs, judging from your ibdb source. Many of these performers have been in other musicals in film, off-broadway, regional productions, and touring companies. Also, at least two have been in OTHER broadway casts (Jason Alexander, "The Rink"1984; Shelley Winters, "Rosalinda"1942, Oklahoma!1943)... just sayin'.

	I'm not sure how I can be more specific than "appeared in on Broadway". And you are correct, seven of them have appeared in more than one Broadway musical -- and any of those shows will also be correct. (Which is, I suspect, why Shelley Winters is answered so often.)

	Would love for Bette Midler's "Rochelle, Rochelle" were a bonus answer.

	As 30sarah suggests, the quiz is kinda backwards. Why not swap the musical and name columns? For example: Musical \| Name \| More famous for The Apple Tree \|_________________\|...fighting the Korean war into the 1980's As it is one can just guess Broadways musicals and get unexpected answers, rather than identifying who was the unusual star.

	Camelot is how I know Richard Burton! Did you know Reba was also in a South Pacific concert at Carnegie Hall? I'm not surprised that she was on B'wy. Johnny Depp (in response to 30sarah) was in a movie adaptation of a Broadway musical. He wasn't actually on Broadway.

	Some of these aren't so surprising... Jason Alexander was in Hunchback of Notre Dame AND a TV version of Bye Bye Birdie, so his being on broadway isn't too surprising. Likewise, Banderas played a major role in the Evita film. I like the idea for the quiz though. Like others have said, I would rather have a clue to the musical rather than what they're already known for.

	Gneissisnice:	Jul 14th, 2011 at 22:43 GMT		1 point
	The clues are absolutely useless, really. Most people know almost everyone on the list anyway, the clues should be about the musical itself, since unless you know every cast of every musical, you basically just have to guess random musicals until they match.

	Bobby_Hsu:	Aug 3rd, 2012 at 09:05 GMT		2 points
	If you're still out there, I guess you have to add Evita for Ricky Martin.

	Thank you for the reminder, Bobby! Updated!

	kermitlefrog:	Mar 31st, 2013 at 00:21 GMT		1 point
	I'm pretty sure Molly Ringwald appeared in Chicago.

	prouvaire:	Apr 1st, 2013 at 08:26 GMT		1 point
	Thanks for the feedback, kermitlefrog! (Great name, btw) According to ibdb.com, she hasn't yet been in that show. But it wouldn't surprise me if she did someday soon!
