15. Which play made its Broadway debut on November 18, 1942?_________________________ [Choices: Desire Under the Elms, Oklahoma!, Rent, Death of a Salesman, The Skin of Our Teeth ] Was unable to play Tuesday, but does anybody else think that Oklahoma is a pretty crappy distractor seeing as it debuted less than a year later? Or do we just need to suck it up and memorize the Broadway debuts of 100 plays? |
