Rules: As in regular Bingo, try to get five boxes in a row up, down, or diagonal. Mark off the boxes of Broadway stars you’ve seen perform live.
What counts: Broadway, off-Broadway, regional, or any other venue for live theatre. You must have seen them in a musical or play (not concert, benefit, etc.) and must have seen them live (DVDs, videos, and bootlegs don’t count).
Winning: When you hit a bingo, call it out on the comment space below. You do NOT need to be a registered Blogger user to post. You may be as anonymous as you’d like.
When you have a bingo, call off the five squares in which you won, listing at least one show you saw each performer in.
Prize: The prize is pride and bragging rights, plus the chance to share your beloved theatrical memories.
If people express interest, I can make this a regular feature on my blog.
