Broadway board game ...

Hi all,

I am in a creative lull and need some assistance. I am creating a board game for a gift for Christmas and its similar to that of Monopoly. I am creating cards right now (like "community chest" and "chance" cards -- where you either gain or loose money). I am trying to be creative and think of broadway related things I can use, (for example, "Tuition is due for Shiz, pay $500).

Any creative minds out there who want to help?

Thanks in advance,
Megs

Boardwalk & Park Place could be The Palace & The WInter Garden
Chance & Community Chest could be Producers cards/Union cards.

I'll try my best:


Chandelier falls. Pay 1000 dollars to replace it. ("The Phantom of the Opera")

You get a spot on the Corny Collins show. Collect 50 dollars. ("Hairspray")

The meat pie business is very busy now that you finally know what to do with all those dead bodies. Collect 500 dollars profit. ("Sweeney Todd")

Your show flopped as planned. Just kidding. Go to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect 200 dollars. ("The Producers")

Billy Flynn is your lawyer. Get out of jail free. ("Chicago")

Congragulations! You inavertedly killed Javert! Get out of jail free. ("Les Miserables")

You are forced out of Antekva. Pay 50 dollars per house, 100 dollars per hotel. ("Fiddler on the Roof")

You hope you get it! God you hope you get it! F*ck! You didn't get it! Pay 200 dollars to get your arse all the way back home again from New York, you poor little sh*t, you. ("A Chorus Line")




And that's all I can think of for now. I'll post more when I think of 'em.

You had money in Lestat

Go to jail for the rest of the game.

You try to out shout Eden Espinosa in a talent contest and FAIL. Pay 50 dollars to the victor. ("Brooklyn")

You con two conmen! Collect 100 dollars! ("Dirty Rotten Scoundrels")

You go see "The Light in the Piazza" and can't understand a word they're saying. Fork up $110 dollars.

You earn your freedom from Roman slavery. Now you have to pay income taxes. Sucks to be you. Pay 100 dollars. (Edit: that was from "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum")

You paid to see Idina Menzel's final night in "Wicked", but she wasn't there! Sucks to be you. Pay $150.

You taxed a church! Go straight to jail, mister. ("Man of La Mancha")

You rape Luisa! No, wait! You kidnapped Luisa! No! Oi! Wait! A rape is the same as a kidnapping! Lose a turn trying to explain that concept to people who just don't get it. ("The Fantasticks")

It's the landmark case "Department of Food and Health vs. Thernardiers" and you're the lawyer to the Thernardiers. You're toast, dude. Pay 100 dollars. ("Les Miserables")

"The internet is really, really great", right? You clicked on a link to what seemed to be a Pokemon website, but what turned out to be illegal children's Internet porn that downloads to your computer. Right at that moment, a cop walks in. "Schaudenfraude" and sucks to be you. Go directly to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200. ("Avenue Q")

Everybody has AIDS! Pay 100 dollars in hospital fees. ("Rent", or is it "Team America"? Hmm. . .)

You take your children to see "Avenue Q" thinking that it's the Broadway version of "Sesame Street". You walk out at the beginning of act one. You waste $330 on tickets. Pay up, stuck up b*tch.

You gain the Kit Kat club when the Nazis give it to you! Now World War II is over and the original owner wants his club back. You take the case to court and the judge rules in his favor. Serves you right, *sshole. Pay 500 dollars. ("Cabaret")

(That second one may be a tad bit controversial to you, so if you don't want to use it, then don't use it. I find it a bit racy myself, and I probably shouldn't have put it down, but on the off chance that it is ok, I put it down.

Oh, c'mon! I'm having alot of fun here! Why isn't anyone joining in?


You steal from the priest - and get away with it! Collect $1000. ("Les Miserables". Man, I'm thinking of lots of "Les Miserables" ones, aren't I?)

You are Rafiki. You get a sex change. Pay up $1000, dudette. ("The Lion King")



Oh, c'mon! Someone else has to try this! It's so much fun and I'm out of ideas!

Nice one, Cyco. :)

Put on a production of "Brooklyn". Pay $5 for the set.

[Sporti2005]

I DEFINITELY just thought of that as I was reading the others, cycospaz!!

How about

You won seat in the lottery!! Advance to go.

You could also name the railroads as subway stations that are near the theatre district.

Taka, those are brilliant!

Thanks. I try. :)

They really are great Taka, I hope she gives you your own Railroad! I'm not sure what to write but we were cracking up over your cards.

We almost paid to see Lestat Mr. Roxy, in previews but Son said, dancing, singing Vampires? WTF? It was still a funny comment you made but not worse losing the game.

I probably should have seen it just for the fun of it but we really liked the story.

"it sucks to be me" always has a place under the chance file.

Pay a good $350 to see Michael Jackson, Cher, and Dolly Parton in "Chicago". Stunt casting. What will they think of next?

[Taka]

You're finally allowed to wear the producer hat! Collect. . .oh, who am I kidding. This card does nothing but inflate your ego. Nyah nyah nyah. ("The Producers")

Someone steals your purse! Lose 500 dollars and become a hooker. ("Sweet Charity")

Hire the police squad to catch the Phantom in the opera house. The Phantom never shows up. You're forced to pay $300 to them anyways. HA-ha. ("The Phantom of the Opera")

[Taka]

Film the singing cop scene in "Hairspray". Pay $50. Shockingly, you're forced to cut this scene, so all of that money you just spent was WASTED.

Thank you all so much, Taka you have been VERY helpful.

I will post photos once I am done the game!

me and my friends actually made our own monopoly game too. not all broadway related, just random things we're obsessed with and one of them is Wicked, so...

"Glinda makes you POP-U-LAR! Collect $100."

"You're Wicked. Go to free parking."
(we're very generous, lol)

there has got to be more Wicked in our game, i just can't think of any right now.
and one i just thought of now:

"Your boyfriend dumps you for someone serious. Go back 3 spaces." (Legally Blonde)

What a great idea! So Creative.. Here are just a couple that I thought of. They are more Broadway General than for a specific show. I hope that is ok.


Your star called out sick for their performance and the audience is demanding refunds. Pay each player $100.00


on the flip side...

Your newest show received rave reviews. Collect $100 from each player for their ticket.

Also.. just as a thought for this particular version instead of going to "JAIL" it could be "CANCELLATION LINE"

Good luck with the game.
