Loaded Questions 12/28/22 - Theatre
Shipoopi!
Happy Wednesday everyone! This theatre post of Loaded Questions is the first theatre post we’ve had since I saw “The Music Man” on Broadway, starring up-and-comer Hugh Jackman. Watch out for him. Also, if you are in the NY area, the Museum of Broadway was a fantastic visit. Lots of fun stuff to see there. Today is also the penultimate free edition of Loaded Questions for 2022, and I hope you’ll consider subscribing to LQ to brush up your Shakespeare and other playwrights for the trivia in 2023. Best of luck with today’s set!
