Musical junkie that I am I really wanted to enjoy this but I found it to be more impressive than enjoyable.

Certainly the staging, the costuming, the lighting were superb in that inimitable and undefinable Tim Burton style. I enjoyed the performances of the cast, the songs were appropriate if not particularly memorable.

But...something didn't quite work for me. I don't know if it was the subject matter or something else but I don't particularly want to see this again. Nor, unlike Rent, am I particularly interested in seeing a live performance.

Here are the remaining answers:

2. But I was, as many young barristers are,
               An impecunious party.

This was the Judge introducing himself in Gilbert and Sullivan's Trial By Jury

3. Isn't it nice to know a lot!
    And a little bit not...

Red Riding Hood, I Know Things Now, from Sondheim's Into The Woods (and there are certain people out there on my friends list who I'd expected would see this and immediately get it. You know who you are... :) )

5. We just log on and dreams appear

The Ga Ga Kids (ensemble basically), Radio Ga-Ga from Elton's superb We Will Rock You. (This one was hard because several of Queen's lyrics, especially Radio Ga-Ga, were rewritten to fit the story).

I may put another quiz together this weekend but then again I might not.

Inspired by stephen_dedman's comic quizzes. :)

Lines from songs from various musicals I have seen performed live. Sometimes more than once. And if I've seen them they shouldn't be too hard right?

Name the song, the singing character (which may be the ensemble), and the musical.

1. Conceived in hell, and born in strife

2. But I was, as many young barristers are,
               An impecunious party.

3. Isn't it nice to know a lot!
    And a little bit not...

4. Only seven guineas.
   That or thereabouts.

5. We just log on and dreams appear

6. But the tigers come at night

7. In sleep he sang to me, in dreams he came
