Thanks Skyewalker - I'd thought WING for 9A but couldn't get that to work though it's likely to be correct

TIER doesn't really allude to APRON or STAGE

9a tier is a child's apron in US.

Thanks Stevie - I haven't got that edition :(

So SYRACUSE is likely to be correct then for 7 D

If you take the letters N (for "number") and G R A S P E D away from "Porgy and Bess" you are left with BOYS

"The Boys from Syracuse" is another musical

7d I'll go with that as Skyewalker won the t-shirt again last week.

Hi Widow's son - I also solved 7D as you did but it's a bit convoluted even for Myops. Any hint for my last one 22D - City halls (6) ME?A?A. I'm stumped!
