	Sweeney Todd begins with "The Ballad of Sweeney Todd" ("No Place Like London" opens the film, but if you're going to use films, specify that and make the opening number to Grease the title number), The Phantom of the Opera has a prologue with some sung lines before Hannibal, I'm fairly sure that "Over the Rainbow" is the first sung number in The Wizard of Oz, and The Pirates of Penzance isn't really a musical. Also, I suggest you make this answer-specific-to-box, because you've got enough well-known musicals here that people can just type in names.

	Sweeney Todd is the only one I use the film version for because if I said the ballad of Sweeney Todd then it would be too easy, though I will specify that its from the film. In regards to Phantom, bye bye birdie has the same thing but its still basically part of the overture/prologue part and I did specify that overtures don't count. For Wizard of Oz you are right I mistakingly picked an adaptation. Pirates of Penzance most people know as a musical so whatever. And yeah the box to box thing is a good idea, thanks

	could you just accept "Joseph" instaed of joseph and the amazing technicolor dream coat?" and could you also accept "forum" for A Funny thing happened on the way to the forum, or at least accept "A Funny Thing"

	I'm pretty sure Godspell opens with Prepare Ye the way of the Lord. On the Willows is in the second act.

	broadway-sure thing, I just changed it Joseph is now acceptable, and both funny thing and a funny thing are accepted. welshmafia5- you are correct, that was my fault, I have changed that.

	On the cast recording of the phantom the first number not a prologue or overture is titled think of me

	If you don't want to use "The Ballad of Sweeney Todd," then I would suggest switching it out with another musical. There are plenty to choose from, but suddenly using a movie musical throws people off. Accept "forum." Some people (like me) will try "forum" first, and then go back and type the entire title in front of the word, assuming that you aren't taking the shortened title. Pirates of Penzance is an operetta, not a musical, but I think it's fine for a quiz like this (after all, RENT is really a rock opera).
