Today's NYT Strands (game #462) - the answers
Today's Strands, game #462, answers are...
- CAST
- SCORE
- LIGHTS
- SINGING
- DANCING
- COSTUMES
- SPANGRAM: ITS THE SHOW
- My rating: High
- My score: Perfect
I assumed today's mystery would revolve around classic shows like Evita, but alas, upon spotting Cats, the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical that ran for an astounding 18 years (1982-2000), the letters didn't turn blue, and the response turned out to be CAST.
Instead, what followed were some of the aspects of producing a Broadway show, such as stage, script, and others, all save a couple of omissions. If your idea of a spot of theater involves improv in a parking lot, you'd better brace yourself, as the spangram always seems a bit...awkward. I got it today as my second correct guess, and it helped me fill out the rest of the board.
