A quiz for the new year

 Hello and happy new year to all, here's hoping 2021 treats everyone a bit better than last year did. Something a little different this time, and hopefully a bit of fun. I've always really loved quizzes so I hope you enjoy this one if you choose to take part. There are 4 sections covering lots of my favourite things: musicals, pop music, TV/musicals, and sitcoms (with a strong bias towards my favourite shows!). 25 points from the sections plus the opening bonus point makes a total of 26 points if you get everything right. Obviously, there's no pressure to answer these but if you'd like to, you can send me your answers however you'd prefer by Mon 18th January (enter via Messenger, Twitter Direct Message, Insta Direct Message or as a last resort you can leave your answers in a comment on this post). There's a small musical theatre themed prize for the winner as well. Best of luck :)

A little side note, as well, sorry, just to say that I've written a piece of 'Brooklyn 99' fanfiction and so please let me know if you'd like me to post it as a blog post, either as an individual post or within another post or not at all. Just to say, as well that there are spoilers for season 7 of ‘B99’ in the quiz and the fanfiction. Thanks :)  )
