Theatre quiz: Musical lyrics by numbers

By Robin Johnson First Published 19 April 2019, Last Updated 12 August 2020

Yes, the Theatre Quiz is back this week, and it’s more theatre-y and… er… quizzical (?) than ever before!

The game is simple: we’ve left some blanks in some London musicals’ lyrics – some well-known, some considerably less so. All you have to do is select the correct number to fill them in – but be warned, as you only get one shot at each question, and there are some tricky ones in there…

You’ve got 5 minutes. And be warned: like writing “2019” for the first few months of the year, this one’s not easy…

Good luck – and as ever, let us know how you did!
