Musicals from the 1980’s or prior whose original members are all still alive 1. ABBA 2. Pirates of Penzance 3. The Rocky Horror Show Wait a minute… are we asking for musical ACTS (like Abba) or Broadway musicals? I’m pretty sure it’s the former. So… 1. The Original King Crimson (Mike Giles, Robert Fripp, Pete SInfield, Greg Lake and Ian MacDonald are all still alive. But if it’s the latter… SHoot, how would I know if everyone from the original \*\*\*Cats \*\*\*cast is still alive??? ---

> [@astorian](#): > > Wait a minute… are we asking for musical ACTS (like Abba) or Broadway musicals? I say we go with the former, since there’s never been a musical named “ABBA”, and _Mamma Mia!_ wasn’t staged until 1999. So therefore: **Musical [acts] from the 1980’s or prior whose original members are all still alive.** 1. ABBA 2. Pirates of Penzance 3. The Rocky Horror Show 4. The Original King Crimson (Mike Giles, Robert Fripp, Pete SInfield, Greg Lake and Ian MacDonald are all still alive.) 5. Emerson, Lake & Palmer ---
