| The final question is posted daily in an ad for "Jeopardy" in The NY Times. That gives me all day to think of the answer. It was weirdly written but what helped me is that I had seen Sarah Jessica Parker as Annie ( Betty Hutton was her Miss Hannigan ). Amy's answer of "Rose" was almost correct: Merman was Rose in "Gypsy" and SJP was Rosemary in "How To Succeed In Business...". |

| I wonder if that's why the clue had the unhelpful "show that ran more than 2 years" instead of "hit show," to avoid the argument that Rosemary and Rose are too close not to count. That revival of H2S ran a little over a year. Sorry, I see that dottie20 has said basically the same thing. Referring to "title roles" would have worked to avoid it too. |

| I thought the same thing. Upon further investigation, I see that the original production of Gypsy ran for less than 2 years, as did the revival of How to Succeed with SJP. I guess that's why they specified 2 years in the phrasing. | |

| That was the pairing I thought of; perhaps instead of “2 years”, they could have referenced the characters’ names being titular. | |

| I thought the question was oddly worded. I, too, saw SJP as Annie (twice), and Alice Ghostley was Miss Hannigan. I have a picture of the two of us from back then, if I could only find it! | |
