That was the reason I chose so soon.

Plus I’m now at a beach club drinking cocktails so my ability to listen to anything but beach vibes will soon kick in

Currently drinking a chilli and mango martini.

I love musicals but making it be actual cast recordings is far harder than necessary imo

[Cherie]

British icons would have been an easy score week for me, interested to see the results

I used to love musicals and used to regularly go to the West End but I have gone off them, it would have to be something amazing to tempt me back, that said going to the Rocky Horror Show in August, though I hate Timewarp with a passion and don't know anything about the show, so not sure why I agreed to go

I’m a modern day gay. I dress stylish and drink cocktails. Haven’t got time for musicals, I’m too busy being boujee.

Are you allowed to give your scores once ours are all in?

[Ammi]

…this game is a lot more complex than just picking a song, I have to say…

[Strictly Jake]

OK then I am looking for actual cast versions
.thank you.

Oh actually i don’t mind Rocky Horror. I’ve only ever seen the movie though

[Strictly Jake]

If it's easier, with me wanting cast versions, Broadway cast versions are acceptable to as long as the musical has been on the London West end stage in the last 5 years.

I suppose in Jakes defense he's mixing it up a bit, the game can get a bit samey otherwise (even though I curse him )

[Strictly Jake]

I don't think it's hard, there's got to be nearly 50 musicals to choose from, YouTube has an abundance of cast recordings. The Cast recordings don't even have to be from the last 5 years, but the musical does.

I have to make it a little bit challenging, if I just said send me a musical, I'd prob be sent nearly the whole greatest showman soundtrack.

[Strictly Jake]

Think of a musical, see if it has been performed in the west end in the last 5 years, then YouTube will very likely have a cast recording off a song from that musical somewhere. I don't think I'm asking that much guys.

[Strictly Jake]

If someone manages to send me a song from my favorite current musical on the west end I shall give them a bonus point...

[Liam-]

That’s a much better explanation tbf, the way you worded it originally was that you wanted a cast recordings from a show during the time restraints, which was what was making it more difficult

Oh wait, what? The recording doesn't have to be from the last 5 years? so it could be from the 80's if there was a different version of the play back then? What about if it was a film but also in the West End in the last 5 years? Could you send the films version by the film cast?


***I would never choose The Greatest Showman

… because it’s not a dance that has been given, I’m going to try to find a song in the theme for the Paso Doble just for the holy heck of it…

Oh right, no, it's more likely cast versions will be from further back than 5 years. As I said Broadway cast versions are included in the rules. The basic rule is the musical should have been in the west end within the last 5 years and if it started on the west end a lot longer than 5 years ago but is still on the west end, or had been within the last 5 years that's included. So there is a massive wide range to choose from

Yeah. As long as it’s been still shown at the west end sometime between 2020-2025.
