<hr>
<p>It seems that there has been a bit of an accident in the computer storing the musical lyrics of different Broadway showtunes. It seems someone hacked into the computer and had a great time messing around with the files, putting songs in the wrong spot. </p>
<p>Your task is in two parts: </p>
<p>First, identify the musical that these lyrics come from. This is a matching task with the lists below.</p>
<p>Then, for additional tickets, identify the name of the song. </p><br><br>

<p>1. Cosette! Now I remember! Cosette! How can it be? We were children together. Look what's become of me...</p>
<p>2. Sound the Cruelty! Strike a gong! Pierce the air with strident sound. Troth their plight without delay. 'Tis the Princess Bizarbara's royal wedding day! </p>
<p>3. Genevieve, Genevieve! Look around! Well, do you like it? [...] Can you see her face is shining and her eyes give off a light? Bright as the moon is bright...</p>
<p>4. Together, we're unlimited. Together ,we'll be the greatest team there's ever been, Glenda - Dreams, the way we planned 'em -</p>
<p>5. Grass is green, sky is blue, false is false and true is true. [...] For example - you sir, with the manly good looks. Would you come forward please, Mr. Hapgood? </p>
<p>6. Christine, you must have been dreaming. Stories like this can't come true. Christine, you are talking in riddles. And it's not like you. </p>
<p>7. Hodel, oh Hodel, have I made a match for you! He's handsome, he's young! Alright, he's 62. But he's a nice man, a good catch, true?</p>
<p>8. Johnny has no guide - Johnny wants to hide. Can he make a mark, if he gives up his spark? Johnny can't decide. </p><br><br>

<p>Now with how many musicals exist, this might seem an impossible task. However, we have managed to narrow the issue down to affecting only the 8 shows listed below. No musical in this list will be used twice. Just match the musical with its lyrics! As for the name of the song, you're on your own for that...</p>
<p> a. Fiddler on the Roof<br>
b. The Phantom of the Opera<br>
c. Les Miserables<br>
d. Starmites<br>
e. Wicked<br>
f. The Baker's Wife<br>
g. Anyone Can Whistle<br>
h. Tick, Tick... Boom</p

<p>Send in your completed entry with a list of the matched-up lyrics and shows, as well as the name of the song if you choose to do that part, to <a href='https://www.hexrpg.com/owl/SOUP Account&subject=Puzzling Things October' target='_blank'>Soup Account</a> by October 21st at 11:59 PM HEX with the subject "Puzzling Things".</p>

<p><u>Prizes</u></p>
<p>First place: 8 Jewels + 10k<br>
Second place: 6 Jewels + 10k<br>
Third place: 3 Jewels + 5k</p>

<p>Just for attempting to help us put our records back together (matching the songs to their musical) you will receive 1 ticket for the prizes, get all of them right and you will get 2 tickets. So 1 ticket for valiant attempts and 2 tickets for 100% correct matching. A bonus third ticket is available if you also name each of the songs correctly.</p>

<p>Only one prize will be awarded per user per issue. Should the randomizer select the same user more than once, they will be awarded the first prize selected, and any subsequent prizes will be redrawn among the non-winners for that issue.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
