I'm really not creative enough for this but...
Every time Lauren Molina does that crazy twitch thing she does with her face in the Sweeney revival.
Every time there's an 80's reference in The Wedding Singer.
Every time an ALW show makes you want to shoot yourself.
Jekyll and hyde- whenever a modulation occurs (also applies to the Scarlet pimp and Civil war)
ragtime- every time a song ends on a button
the apple tree- every time the color brown is mentioned
candide- every time there is a change of location
Not along the same lines, but A to Z is always fun...
eg A = A My Name is Alice
B = Bat Boy
etc etc... and everytime you cant remember one, or one is repeated you have to drink!
shall we play this game then? new thread methinks...
I love power hours. Not a drinking game per se...But, I made a power hour CD featuring musicals!!! It's so much fun bc everyone sings along & gets totally trashed. Also I get my musical fix before going out & being forced to listen to the same SHOULDA LEAN, SHOULDA LEAN..... all night.

Les Miz - Every time you could swear you've heard this melody before, but you can't remember where it was first played, or just when you hear a repeated melody.
The Drowsy Chaperone - Anytime a joke is made that would be distasteful any where else.
Ragtime - One shot for every REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEALLLY LOOOOOOOONG NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTE!
Sondheim - Every time there's a rhyme your sure he can't complete.
Herman - Every Jewish reference.
Or at a party, you can set the Broadway collection to shuffle and whenever you come across someone's dream song, they have to take a shot and sing along.
every time a color is mention in SITPWG
A game I really have played since my days as a drunk fraternity boy. In THE GRINCH... everytime "who" is mentioned you take a drink. We called it Drinking Grinch.
when the words "I'm in Love" are mentioned in South Pacific..one could get very drunk off of one song.

Every time you SWEAR you've heard that set of notes before, but cannot remember when in The Light in the Piazza.
Every time Clara says something not P.C.
If you sit in a theatre doing this (which I hope you don't) go see something really, really hysterical and drink EVERY time anyone laughs. At anything.Ever.
And if you try all of these, you die instantly of liver disease.
Edit: Apologies to Julian2. I'm sorry if it seemed like I copied you!

Tis fine.
How about you have to search the BroadwayWorld Forums and everytime you come across a post from bryan about certain cast recordings, you have to take a shot.
P.S. Sry, bryan, not trying to be mean, truth be told, I Want More too.
P.P.S. I admire your persistance, esp here, where things can get sooo vicious!

From a friend;
Martin Guerre
-Whenever you hear a Les Miz melody with different lyrics.
-Or, whenever you hear a Les Miz melody with the same lyrics.
...everytime they say "Ragtime" in RAGTIME
...everytime the entire ensemble is on stage in 42nd street
...whenever the urchins in LSOH sing
...whenever the urchins in LSOH don't sing (it works either way)
...everytime someone dies in Les Miz
I like this thread, it might be my all time favorite.

I'm so bad at coming up with these things. I'm very glad ya'll have done it. I'm definitely going to try a few of these at my next party, provided my friends are pre-drunk enough to agree to let me play muscials all night.

I like the idea of a shot for every time a color is mentioned in Sunday in the Park With George... I got this great image of during "Color and Light," seeing every head in the audience throw itself back in those rapid sections where George is naming off colors as he does the dots... good stuff right there. You'd be down within the first 30 seconds.
