0745: Merry Quizmas and a Happy New Earful For 2022 Jan 01, 2022

Show notes

It's a brand new year so it must be time for our traditional MusicalTalk musical theatre quiz – a merry mix of quirky questions and superb songs compiled for your pleasure by Thos. This time it's all about the late Stephen Sondheim who was no mean compiler of mysteries himself. So, old friends, something's coming! And with so little to be sure of, now you know! It might be agony but once you've got a good thing going, and opening doors on your knowledge, what can you lose? And some people might have an epiphany or move on. Or am I simply losing my mind?
