MM #4: "Like My Brain..."

#1

Post by dannykbernstein »

Attached! I originally had this pegged to be on the higher end of difficulty, only for a couple folks to breeze through it during a test solve, so very curious to see how this one plays!

The solution to the meta is a musical that has won the Tony Award for Best Musical.

[It's also another fave of mine.]

Googling encouraged for the less theatrically inclined.

My knowledge of said subject is rather shaky. But thanks to Mr. Google I made it through.
Clever mechanism.

Tricky one, but definitely solvable with generous helpings of Google! :D
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta! :shock:

Tricky. Needed a fair bit of help from Mr. G, but finally got there. Thanks for the puzzle!

Couldn't have gotten it without Google. Not sure I solved it using correct mechanism, but I got there. Thanks!

Okay, I have to say I'm loving these! I solved this one and admired the cleanness and cleverness, and decided I needed to go back and solve #1-#3. So glad I did. Keep them coming, please! BTW, do you know @bcimmet from our forum? He's Brian Cimmet -- great constructor of Fill Me In metas, found under "Other Meta Crossword Puzzles" -- he's also a pianist/conductor/producer of musicals out of Syracuse.
