NTN Encore Question of February 10th, 2007.
Played at The Frog & Firkin in North York Ontario.
Answers:
Tonight I'm playing with two boards as ROCKET and LITBOX with Sean METLCA, Rob COSMO, and Phil PLBAAB.
My game so far had gone like this: TuneUp...ROCKET...4000/5000...1st/6...my two, COSMO and PLBAAB win round. ..........LITBOX...4000/5000...1st/6. I guessed right only 1 of 3 that I didn't know. OnBeat...ROCKET...11000/14000...3rd/6...METLCA wins round at 8 right, 1 wrong. ..........LITBOX...11000/14000...3rd/6. 7 right and 2 wrong was OK. Rob got us two of them that I didn't know. JukeBox...ROCKET...15138/20000...3rd/6...METLCA wins round? ...........LITBOX...15115/20000...4th/6. Triviaoke...ROCKET...20416/28000...4th/5...METLCA wins wins round? .........LITBOX...20371/28000...5th/5. I take two -250 in this round.

Now the Encore answers come up. Broadway shows? I don't know much about this topic.
Encore Question:...Albin and Georges are the central characters in this stage musical:

I don't know this. I immediately say these are French names especially with 'George' spelled with an 'S' on the end and it would make sense that it would be the French title. I can only rule out Jesus Christ Superstar which should have the two leads named Jesus and Judas. Phil jokes around that 'Albin' is a girl's name but we're all in for '2' with plenty of time to spare.
Correct Answer:....2. La Cage Aux Folles
[NTN Extra Fact:...The show first opened at Broadway's Palace Theatre in 1983 and ran for 1761 performances.]
I'm right and stay in 4th as ROCKET with 30624. I finish 629th in all North America. The bar is 9th in North America with a 31421 average. I earn 3000+ points for making this week's standard of 15000 points.
[ntn.com moved us up to 8th in North America out of 1798 bars].
