Gracious & Graceful Gwen Verdon: Broadway Legends
By Tsk9653 on 01/06/2008
This quiz has received an Editor's Award for excellent content. Only the most unique and well written quizzes are
eligible for this award.
I had decided to discontinue my "Broadway Legends" series due to my dissatisfaction over the number of takers of the later quizzes. Instead, I have decided to leave the realm of composers of musicals to do a "Broadway Legends" quiz on one of the major stars of the Broadway stage, Gwen Verdon, who is pictured on the cover of "Time" magazine that introduces this quiz.
This quiz poses both biographical questions and questions about the musicals in which this four-time Tony Award winner appeared. Verdon also played movie roles; indeed, she continued to appear in films long after she retired from the stage, but her movie roles are not a subject of inquiry in this quiz.
My questions provide a lot of information which may help in the selection of the correct answer. If not, you will learn something new about this great Broadway star, as I did while doing the research for this quiz.
