Epilogue

You can see why naming the musical numbers not only saves space, but makes a lot more sense to the audience!.

If you are naming the musical numbers, for pity's sake DO NOT name "Crossover" "Incidental" "Entr'acte" and the like!. Only the ones that are sung!.

I recently closed this show, playing Tevye, and fulfilling a childhood dream!. It was everything and nothing like what I expected!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The scenes wouldn't be titles per se, only the songs!. The scenes would be listed by location!. For instance -

Scene One - Anatevka
Scene Two - Lazar Wolf's House
etc!.

(These are just examples!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com
