Novels, plays, short stories, poetry – even a comic strip – the stories for great musicals have been plundered from all different genres of writing. This quiz gets you to simply match up the author of the original source with the musical that evolved from his/her writing.
Don’t forget you’re looking for the authors of the original works, not the playwright. Below you’ll find 18 authors, matching them up might be harder than you think. Let us know how you did in the comments!
This is our second musicals quiz, if you’re a fan you can see how you fare on the first musicals quiz here.
