Songs From The Shows

This pub quiz handout round features a list of 15 well known songs from musicals along with a mixed up list of the musicals they feature in (which also includes five red herrings). The aim for teams in your quiz is to match up the correct musicals to the correct songs. For example, the musical Oliver should be matched up to the song Consider Yourself.

As in the example above, a few of these are fairly straightforward, so teams should be able to get up and running on this round quickly.  However, while all the songs are well known, there are few (Too Darn Hot, You'll Never Walk Alone, etc.) which may not be so easy to match up, so some guesswork may be needed to complete the round.

While the information in this round could be used to make up standard question and answer rounds (where the quiz-master asks questions aloud and the teams write the answers on blank answer sheets) it is recommended that this is used in a quiz as a handout round.
