**New York, NY** – A recent episode of Jeopardy! featured a Final Jeopardy! category dedicated to theatre, testing contestants’ knowledge of the stage. While the question’s specifics weren’t revealed, Playbill reports that the clue was easily answerable for avid theatre-goers, and not all contestants successfully answered. This prompted Playbill to offer a series of additional theatre-themed quizzes covering topics ranging from Broadway plays to movie musicals.
The Jeopardy! appearance highlights a surge of theatre-related news, including upcoming events such as a D.C. theatre fundraiser hosted by Donald Trump on June 11th, featuring Billy Stritch, and a Broadway Cares fundraiser incorporating a poker tournament. Other news includes the announcement of a new play directed by Alex Keegan starring Ella Stiller and Chiara Aurelia, a tribute to a beloved Indianapolis cabaret performer, and the continued success of the Tony-nominated musical starring Darren Criss and Helen J Shen. Additionally, talks centered around addiction and recovery, themes found in a musical co-created by and starring Idina Menzel, were also announced. Finally, Matt DeAngelis’ annual fundraiser for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation was also mentioned.
