It’s a new year; time to think about beginnings. Specifically, we’re thinking about the beginnings of musicals!
Some great musicals (like Footloose, In The Heights or You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown) begin with the title song. But not these shows! Each of these musicals has a unique, memorable opening number that does NOT reference the show’s title.
If we name the song, can you name the musical? Break a leg!
