Is the musical currently running on Broadway, in London, or on tour?

All three.

Another hint: I mentioned that the term can mean 'a foolish person.' This would imply a negative connotation to the word you are looking for. However, in the U.S. the word is used to denote more of a mischievous and fun nature, not a negative quality.

[ERinVA]

Aha! I found it!

Silly
a modifier to the names of some fielding positions to denote that they are unusually close to the batsman, most often silly mid-off, silly mid-on, silly midwicket and silly point.[3]

You got it!

I like this game. Loads of fun.

Glad you like it.

Diagonal camel?

Hey, I think it rhymes.

[ERinVA]

[dongringo]

In what part of the world does this animal do most of it's packing?

[ERinVA]

All over the place. There are quite a few in this country.

The other word...is it commonly used or is it some obscure rarely if ever used word?
