Oh, the world of yesteryear musicals! Strangers break into spontaneous song and dance in the street, and naturally, everyone knows the lyrics and choreography. If wanting to live in that world is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

Whether you saw the original productions (or, more likely, a revival), or own the film versions on worn-out VHS tapes, true fans know that The Golden Age of Broadway (c. 1943-1968) blessed us with classic, yet sometimes ridiculous tunes. How well do you know your soundtracks? Test your knowledge of musical theatre lyrics by taking our quiz!

  1. Great one…and I just happened to be listening to Showtunes when this came up.

  2. Very tough! I’ve even been in productions of some of those shows and still didn’t know the lyrics.

  5. Nuts! only 8 out of 13… Perhaps if there ere some SONDHEIM (I’m not counting WSS)

  6. Most of Sondheim’s work is too late for this. Maybe MentalFloss should do a super musical quiz. Or a “ridiculous things made into musicals” one. I’ve seen the musical version of “Army of Darkness,” it could go on that list.
