not bad, 10 out of 12… I only mixed up 2 of them. Most likely because I’m not too familiar with them, other than a few songs that do not include the opening one

I teach drama and musical theatre, so hooray for a quiz I can ace with no problems! Well, there’s one problem: now all of these songs are stuck in my head. Thanks.
