Question

This decade is the setting of two musicals from 2000 by Andrew Lippa and Michael LaChiusa both called “The Wild Party.” Erin Dilly and Kristin Chenoweth withdrew from a 2002 Jeanine Tesori musical set in this decade, giving understudy Sutton Foster her big break. The longest-running show currently on Broadway is the 1996 revival of a musical set in this decade that originally starred Gwen Verdon and (*) Chita Rivera. Bob Fosse originally directed that musical, (10[1])which opens with the lyric “Come on, babe / Why don’t we paint the town?” Thoroughly Modern Millie is set in this decade, (-5[1])which is also when a vaudeville-inspired Kander and Ebb musical about Velma Kelly and Roxie Hart takes place.
