A NEW MUSICAL LYRIC QUIZ!!!!

I loved Jon Alan Conrad's quiz, and have been anxiously awaiting 
another. Well, I got tired of waiting, so I made my own. I borrowed 
his format, though, so it should be somewhat familiar to everyone 
who participated in the last one.

Here's how it works:
	There are 30 questions, each a lyric from a stage musical.
	Each question requires 4 answers:
		1- the name of the SONG
		2- the name of the SHOW it is from
		3- the name of the COMPOSER of the music to the song
		4- the name of the LYRICIST

1 point will be awarded for each correct answer, so a maximum of 
120 points may be awarded. There is no penalty for guessing.

The winner receives a warm fuzzy and the knowledge that he/she is 
the envy of all their peers.

The questions are in alphabetical order by SHOW. 
All the lyrics start with "I" (or "I'll", or "I'd"), so it kind of forms a 
little poem. If I get a lot of interest, I'll do another quiz starting with 
"You"

Please send all replies and/or questions to:

DO NO POST ANSWERS!! 
I'll accept replies until May 5, and I hope to post the results soon 
after that. Enjoy!
