What is the gramatically correct way to write a song title in playbill?

Here's a breakdown of how to write song titles in a playbill, along with some examples:

General Guidelines

* Quotation Marks: Use quotation marks around the song title. This is the most common and widely accepted practice.

* Capitalization: Capitalize the first word and any proper nouns within the song title. This applies to the entire title, even if it's multiple lines.

* Italics: You can use italics instead of quotation marks, but this is less common in playbills.

Examples:

* Correct: "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"

* Correct: "The Sound of Music"

* Correct: "I Dreamed a Dream"

* Correct: "The Phantom of the Opera"

* Incorrect: The Sound of Music

* Incorrect: i dreamed a dream

Additional Considerations:

* Songwriters: You might include the songwriters' names after the title, especially if they are well-known. For example: "The Sound of Music" (Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II)

* Specific Edition/Arrangement: If the song is a specific version or arrangement (e.g., an orchestral version, a pop cover, etc.), you can mention that in parentheses. For example: "The Sound of Music" (Orchestral Version)

Consistency:

* Make sure to use a consistent style for all song titles throughout the playbill for a professional look.
