On Broadway

STOP!!!

Have you read the instruction post?

Yes I have, and it would have been nice to know exactly how the scoring worked for each game before choosing. I knew five of the plays (!!! Yes, despite this not being my strong suit) without needing the answers, and I was trying to figure out whether I might do better taking the extra points in Orchestra as opposed to maybe lucking into some guesses in Balcony. I'll just play where I belong in this category....

..what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms.
~~ Thomas Jefferson

War is where the government tells you who the bad guy is.
Revolution is when you decide that for yourself.
-- Benjamin Franklin (maybe)
