C. Musical
Make a video or sound recording of you singing or playing one of the songs from The Last Five Years. Upload your video to a file sharing website (photobucket) or youtube and include the link in your video/recording. I am looking for effort and interpretation here rather than musical talent (although being able to hold a tune does help!). You can choose any song, you are not restricted by gender. For more information about videos please visit the forum.

D. Puzzle
If you managed to keep up with the storyline of this musical you did really well. Having the two stories intertwined does make things a little complicated, but nothing like this maze! Solve it (if you can) and send me your solution to earn your 30 points. Enjoy!
