The Scarlet Pimpernel : Broadway's Most Intriguing Musical.


Center Stage Contest

Numerous people were interviewed for Center Stage over the course of the summer of 1999 and during the run of the show at the Neil Simon theatre. The interviews with these cast and crew members are posted on the main page of the "Center Stage" section of this site. Each person's name is the answer to one of the twenty questions below. This includes each individual participant for the League Roundtable, except for Nancy Rosati. No names are repeated.

This was run as a contest from December 29, 1999 through January 5, 2000. The questions are still posted here for your enjoyment. Read through the interviews, write down your answers, then find out how many you got right.

All of the clues come directly from the Center Stage interviews. It is not necessary to look in the Talkin' Broadway versions of any interviews.

Enjoy!
