C12 - could that just as easily be in a Westerns Quiz? is it The Three Amigos (1986)
It is indeed Three Amigos. Your mention of the short lived Western. Quiz which I had high hopes for was sadly only in play for less than a month in September 2015 due to no interest.. I have since on the odd occasion in the past included a western film title in the Classic Films Quiz thread, and I do intend in the future to continue to do this.
It didn't play in Melbourne, Sydney audiences failed to show up so it closed early before touring, which is a shame because it's a lot of fun. It would have done better if it had opened in Melbourne first.
This subject is interesting because of the crossovers with comedy and other genres like sci fi or horror or westerns. I'll need to pay more attention and think outside the box.
Thanks Peter for posting and correcting the situation regarding the non appearance of the musical in Melbourne. Unfortunately I gained the incorrect information from a website appearing on Google. Another example of where you cannot believe everything you locate on Google. I should have checked more than one website regarding the Australian playdates.

Well observed.

Adapted to being a stage musical premiering in London in 2020. It has played in Melbourne and Sydney Australia in Melbourn since then.
