I'm wondering, is this game supposed to be exclusionary, or what?
Really, what is the point if choosing esoteric words that hardly ever appear in lyrics, that only a handful of people would know, and that could stop the game dead in its tracks?
In any case,
"Matchmaker, Matchmaker," from Fiddler on the Roof:
"I wouldn't holler if he were as handsome as anything."
Anything

After Eight: Point taken. I like this game and suppose I am the most guilty of choosing esoteric words. My intent was not malign. I have less theater knowledge than many on the board and was genuinely interested in learning if some of the less common words did appear in show lyrics. Alternatively, I like seeing where more common words appear in show songs I didn't previously know. I had no exclusionary intent whatsoever. I had a playful take on the word "game".
