Here’s tonight’s Final Jeopardy answer and question for Thursday, March 30, 2017:
Final Jeopardy! category: MUSICAL THEATRE
Final Jeopardy! clue/answer: One of the world’s longest-running musicals, in 2015 it celebrated “30 years of revolution!”
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Eric Vernon, a retired government relations specialist from Ottawa, Ontario
Brook North, an attorney from Raleigh, North Carolina
Julie Brannon, a professor of English from Jacksonville, Florida (2-day total: $47,200)

Les Misérables premiered in Paris in 1980, and is the longest-running musical in London’s West End, having run continuously since October 8, 1985 (explaining the “30 years of revolution!” in the clue.)
A win today from Julie will put her onto Page 2 of our Tournament of Champions tracker, though it’s looking more and more like at least 4 wins and $100,000 is going to be necessary to make the field!

Todd Giese qualified 27.244% of the time.
Rob Liguori qualified 6.180% of the time.
