CONTEST: Win Tickets to FOLLIES on Broadway!

The LEGENDARY CLASSIC RETURNS to the street where DREAMS ARE BORN.
 
The Kennedy Center’s lavish and landmark new staging of James Goldman and Stephen Sondheim’s Tony Award®-winning musical FOLLIES comes to Broadway’s Marquis Theatre (46th St. between Broadway and 8th) for an historic limited engagement, complete with its 28-piece orchestra and a cast of 41—led by such Broadway babies as two-time Tony® winner Bernadette Peters, four-time Tony® nominee Jan Maxwell, two-time Tony® nominee Danny Burstein, three-time Emmy nominee Ron Raines and Olivier Award winner Elaine Paige.
 
And here's the best news of all! The folks over at Follies have asked me to sponsor a contest! There will be TWO lucky winners of a pair of tickets each to a performance of Follies at the Marquis Theatre on Broadway!
 
(Don't want to play, but still want to see the show? Scroll down this blog for a special link to a discount for Follies!)
 
HOW TO PLAY:
  • Starting TODAY (and every day this week through Friday) there will be a trivia question at the end of my blog for the day. Each multiple-choice question will be about the stars of this revival of Follies.
  • Collect each answer, and submit all 5 to me via email atjkstheatrescene@yahoo.com.

HOW TO ENTER THE CONTEST:
Complete, acceptable entries will:
  • Put FOLLIES CONTEST in the Subject Line
  • Include your name, city and state.
  • List the answers in order, with the correct letter or letters AND the answers (Ex. 1. B. Playbill Magazine)

  • Any entry that does not meet the guidelines will be disqualified.
  • ONE ENTRY PER EMAIL ADDRESS. ONE WINNER PER HOUSEHOLD.
