  • Type of mushroom - SHIITAKE
  • Planet in our Solar System - URANUS
  • Hershey Cubs player - HARRY DICK
  • Seabird - BOOBY
  • Town in Warren County, New Jersey - BUTTZVILLE
  • Chicago Bears Hall of Famer - DICK BUTKUS
  • Banking family - FUGGER
  • Toilet component - BALLCOCK
  • Bird (that’s not a rodent) - TITMOUSE
  • Human ancestor - HOMO ERECTUS
  • Small citrus fruit - KUMQUAT
  • American Chinese appetizer sampler - PU PU PLATTER
  • Neckwear - ASCOT
  • German conglomerate - SIEMENS
  • Member of the subfamily Melolonthinae - COCKCHAFER
  • Orkney village - TWATT
  • Related to punishment - PENAL

Index into each answer using the number next to the clue, giving letters (bolded) which spell the phrase HAROLD ROME MUSICAL. Fanny is a musical by Harold Rome. Using the same logic of the puzzle, the answer is FANNY.
