Actually I thought it came from when someone tried to identify an answer in a previous feud as being most likely and wanted to say 'This one is the cinch" but instead typed “conch”.
Went back and forth between Hairspray and Grease, but wasn’t Grease a musical first, then a movie? I guess that doesn’t matter if people answer Grease and Grease popped into my head first. Toughie.
I know exactly ONE Tony nominee this year, only because I have a total thing about Xanadu and just recently read an article about the musical.
#2 Hey, it didn’t have to be a musical star, and I don’t know many contemporary female performers. Dang
#7 One of my favorite movies. I haven’t ever seen it on stage. William Daniels IS John Adams!
#10 The only reason I know ANY nominee this year is because last Friday I was babysitting my nephews, and read a copy of their “Entertainment” magazine, and there was a mention of this show. I remember how dreadful the movie was.
#4 I am so going to fall in rank, partly due to this question!
(Full disclosure: I paid to see Xanadu in the theater TWICE when it came out – back when seeing a movie twice was a big thing (at least for me, as a kid in a family without a lot of disposable income), and you had to do so in the theater because VCRs weren’t really common yet. But I was a 14-year-old girl, their target demographic! I know better now . . .)
