I clued Iron Man in the same way in a puzzle I set for friends – so obviously this was my favourite! I also agree with Wanderer that there is more to the theme than the two musicals but can’t really work it all out.
Good stuff all round.

Very much enjoyed this. Favourites IRON MAN (took me ages to see the obvious) and AT SIGN. On the musical theme, I wondered if it’s relevant that HAIR, a favourite crossword musical, is in both musical cHAIRs and HAIRline, immediately above. Also, we have a pair of movies, MAROONED and HUSTLE, crossing with the excellent ART HOUSE, where one might see them… Perhaps I’m trying to read too much into it.

Thanks to scchua and eimi.

It must say something about my thought processes that until I read this blog, I hadn’t noticed that the word “Sunday” appeared in the names of both musicals. I knew both titles, but once I solved one I forgot about it and went to solve the next.

Thanks,scchua and eimi. Yes, my experience was similar – pleasing puzzle, not too difficult and was able to work the two Sunday titles out from the wordplay tho I’d heard of neither – tho obviously guessing when I found one Sunday there might be a second.
