Farewell, friends…

Spot the theme:
  1. This 1991 Broadway musical starred Alison Fraser, Mandy Patinkin and Daisy Egan, the youngest actress ever to win a Tony Award.
  2. Wilson Jermaine Heredia played Angel in this Pulitzer- and Tony Award-winning 1996 musical.
  3. Robert Weede played the title role of this 1956 Frank Loesser musical (also revived on Broadway in 1979 and 1992) that featured the song, "Joey, Joey, Joey".
  4. Cy Coleman wrote the music and Larry Gelbart wrote the book for this 1989 musical heavily influenced by the works of Raymond Chandler.
  5. Richard Adler and Jerry Ross wrote the music and lyrics for 1955's Damn Yankees and for this 1954 musical based on the novel 7-1/2 Cents.
  6. Joanna Gleason made her Broadway debut as Monica in this 1977 musical about wife-swapping, which also starred Lenny Baker and James Naughton.
  7. After she went on as a replacement Fantine in Les Miserables, Rachel York played a ditzy blonde bombshell named Norma in this 1995 stage adaptation of a movie.
  8. In this 1888 Gilbert & Sullivan operetta, a young maiden named Phoebe loses her heart to a scientist sentenced to death for sorcery.


Oh for heaven's sake, cut me a little slack on the first one, eh?
