Question

During an interview to promote one of these works, a creator of one called Take a Left repeats “mutter, mutter, (10[1])mutter, mutter” to mock the so-called “corporation” next to him. While making one of these works, a man talks to his “daily self-loathing” and a white (10[1])“Inwood Daddy,” two of his personified “Thoughts.” A man starts out making these works, has an affair with Gussie, and feuds with Charley Kringas in reverse chronology scenes about the life of that man, Franklin Shepard. A queer Black usher (-5[1])develops one of these works in Michael R. Jackson’s (10[1])A Strange Loop, (10[1])which itself is one of them. (10[3])One of these works billed as a “gay romp with Adolf and Eva,” (10[1])the intentionally bad (10[1])Springtime (10[1])for Hitler, appears in The (10[1])Producers. (10[2])For 10 points, what works include Merrily (10[1])We Roll Along, created by Stephen Sondheim? ■END■ (10[1])

ANSWER: musicals [or stage musicals; or musical theatre; accept musicals-within-a-musical; accept stage revues; prompt on plays or theatre or stage works; prompt on songs by asking “for what larger works?”] (The song in the first sentence is “Franklin Shepard, Inc.” from Merrily We Roll Along.)
