Full Version: The Musicals Lyrics Game
Forums > ABRSM > Forums Cafe > Games Zone
pianist5000
I've played this game on another forum and facebook so I thought I'd start it here...

Basically it goes like this:

1) The first person posts a line of lyrics from a song from a musical

e.g. I closed my eyes...

2) The next person then has to write the next line and the musical the words are from, so:

e.g I closed my eyes, drew back the curtain...

Song: Any Dream Will Do
Musical: Joseph and The Amazing Technicoloured Dreamcoat

Anyone want to start the game off?
