This challenge revolves around musicals. I chose some popular musicals and created prompts for each song. It's a very laid-back challenge, so don't feel like you have to do every prompt.
You can do all the prompts from one musical, 5 from each, or all of them; it's up to you! Do whatever your heart desires.
A book can be read for more than one musical but NOT FOR TWO PROMPTS IN ONE MUSICAL.
