      Before we unleash our inner theater critic with the quiz, let's jog our memory with a spotlight on some of the most iconic Broadway smash hits. Trust us, knowing these musical giants will make you the MVP of musical theater trivia.

      The Lion King: Roaring Through Theater History

      The Lion King has been captivating audiences with its vivid character portrayals and mesmerizing puppetry since its 1997 debut. From the opening call of "Circle of Life" to the heart-pumping "Hakuna Matata," this show has nabbed more Tony Awards than a hyena has spots. Simba's journey to kingship is nothing short of theatrical magic, making it one of the highest-grossing Broadway musicals of all time.

      Hamilton: Revolutionizing Musical Storytelling

      Our dear "ten-dollar Founding Father without a father," Hamilton, has been turning heads and flipping musical theater on its head. Lin-Manuel Miranda's revolutionary rap narrative about Alexander Hamilton has us all humming to American history. It's not every day you see Founding Fathers dropping rhymes and winning Tony Awards left and right!

      Les Misérables: A Tale of Dreams and Rebellion

      Oh, the feels! Les Misérables takes us on an emotional rollercoaster set against the backdrop of 19th-century France. The struggles of Jean Valjean and his quest for redemption amid political upheaval bring us anthems like "I Dreamed A Dream" that leave no eye dry. This musical is a masterclass in storytelling that continues to resonate with rebels and dreamers alike.

      From Stage to Screen: Musical Adaptations

      Grab your popcorn, dazzling darlings! It's time to strut down the red carpet of history as we explore how some of our favorite stage anthems broke the fourth wall and became blockbuster hits. Lights, camera, action – let's see how these stage wonders got their silver screen glow-ups.

      The Sound of Music: From Hills to Hollywood

      Ever wondered how the hills came alive with the sound of music on the big screen? The 1965 film version took the charm of the von Trapp family and their melodic love for Do-Re-Mi from the intimate stage to the sprawling vistas of Hollywood. Julie Andrews twirled from the stage to become everyone's favorite singing governess, proving some things simply never go out of vogue – like a twirl on an Austrian hillside.

      Chicago: All That Jazz in Cinema

      Now, who could ever forget Chicago, the razzle-dazzle tale of love and crime with all that jazz? We saw those killer dillers Velma and Roxie take their Cell Block Tango from the footlights to the films, cinematically cut with pizazz in 2002. With jazz hands and sharp suits, the film version didn’t just give us a story – it gave us a slaying stage-to-cinema spectacle that we’re still dancing to in our living rooms!

      Mamma Mia!: Here We Go Again with Catchy Tunes

      Alright Super Troupers, let's shimmy over to Greece with Mamma Mia! This stage sensation turned film had us belting ABBA tunes louder than a disco ball at a '70s bash. The screen adaptation graced us in 2008, and let's be honest, we’ve all dreamed of finding love on those sun-kissed shores or at least having a wedding half as epic. Put on your boogie shoes because those tunes are as catchy as ever – musical magic that simply refuses to be cut from our hearts (or playlists).

      So, are you ready to test your musical might? Join us on BrainFall and let's see if you can match the lyrics to the legendary shows and their equally stunning films. We're all in this together – so let's raise the curtain and hit play!
