Broadway Show Elimination Game

[Schmerg_The_Impaler]

I suspect this is how the powers that be determine which shows close when.

Okay, so I took the top 25 shows listed on that "Show-cial Network" doo-hickey on this site. (NOTE: It's actually 24, because Sweeney Todd was both seventh and twenty-fourth on the list for some reason.) The idea of this game is that every show starts out with 25 points. Each poster adds a point to one show and subtracts a point from another. Please bold the names that you add or subtract points from. Once a name has zero points, they are deleted from the list.

The Shows:
1. Wicked--25
2. Rent--25
3. Les Miserables--25
4. [title of show]--25
5. Avenue Q--25
6. Hairspray--25
7. Sweeney Todd--25
8. Into the Woods--25
9. The Last 5 Years--25
10. Company--25
11. Chicago--25
12. Aida--25
13. The Light in the Piazza--25
14. The Phantom of the Opera--25
15. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels--25
16. Gypsy--25
17. A Chorus Line--25
18. Cabaret--25
19. Ragtime--25
20. Spring Awakening--25
21. West Side Story--25
22. Spring Awakening--25
23. Jersey Boys--25
25. The Drowsy Chaperone--25

Cut:
None yet!

Have fun!

Can we eliminate Joe?

[Schmerg_The_Impaler]

Posted: 1/25/09 at 7:50pm

"Senator Joe," the wacky musical all about Joe McCarthy, played three previews on Broadway and never officially opened. That close enough for you, ifuweregay93?
