I found this fun quiz online: try to identify the opening lines of over 60 Broadway shows! [I'd give credit to the page I originally found the link on if I could remember, but I've been playing online way too much today in an effort to procrastinate...]
It was harder than I thought! I had to think of the melody for many songs before I could get the show.

Posted: 6/29/13 at 4:49pmThe 12 minute time limit makes it hard, because you don't have much time to use the process of elimination. I got 36 right in the twelve minutes. I'm sure most here will do much better. Fun game, though.

Aren't the first words in ALNM from the overture:
That old deserted beach that we walked, remember?

#13Opening Lines Quiz
Posted: 6/30/13 at 9:51amAllofmylife, I missed Jersey Boys too! Even though it said first line, I wasn't thinking of the French song, but the spoken dialogue. Not to mention I don't know the French lyrics to begin with. It was a little embarrassing for me considering I've seen the show multiple times.
