Igor Stravinsky's "The Soldier's Tale"

Patrick and I caught a CSUS production of this piece tonight. Chase Spruill, IV (who plays on This Is Ain't Betty) was, as usual, phenomenal on violin. It was, for the most part, a nice presentation. Until the dance section - which probably shouldn't have been performed by non-dancers - and at which point, the guy behind us asks, "what the F*** is going on?" - this of course puts poor patrick in near hysterics - and you've ever heard patrick laugh, it's not really something that can happen in a classical music venue. anyway, if you've never heard the music, it's quite interesting.

fun quiz from folks over at TITLE OF SHOW

The following titles are not the names of any real musical. However, a missing letter can make all the difference in making the show legit.

To solve each of the cryptic titles below, translate the title and then add a missing letter. The missing letters are represented A-Z below. For example:

i. A Happy Honker
The letter "i." is missing from the final answer above. "A Happy Honker" translates to "A Joyful Nose" and when the "i" is added to the word "nose", you get "noise".
i. A Happy Honker = A Joyful Nose + "i" = A Joyful Noise

TIPS/HINTS:
1. If the words "the", "and" or "a" appear in the fake title, they will appear in the real title as well (Though not necessarily in the word order they appear in the fake title).
2. The number of words in the fake title are not necessarily the number of words in the real title.
