News: Tammy Faye musical will be re-opening Palace Theatre (after Ben Platt concert)
Tammy Faye

Opening Date: Nov 14, 2024
Peter’s Brainteasers:
An actor and an actress made five films together, one of which became a musical.
This was in the early ‘60s.
The musical had a different name from the film.
It wasn’t a hit, although the entire score was written by a lyricist who had won a Best Song Oscar.
This ‘60s musical in question happened little more than a year after the actress in question had starred in a different musical that wasn’t a hit, either.
As for the actor, he never appeared in a Broadway musical, but he is mentioned in one, thanks to a lyric in a Jerry Herman song.
Who are they?
In what film did they appear?
What was the name of its musical version of it?
In what musical did she star?
In what Jerry Herman song is he mentioned?
