Glad to find there are some other crossword puzzle fans on this board! I've done them casually for years, but I've really gotten into them during the pandemic. I did an online crossword puzzle tournament a few weeks ago, which was a lot of fun.
Crosswords often have theater-related clues. OBIE is a big one, because it has 3 vowels. Ben VEREEN crops up pretty often. I saw Kelli O'Hara clued in a puzzle recently.
