How does the music to "Me!" go? -- User:Angie Y. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Angie Y. ( talk • contribs) 17:55, August 20, 2005 (UTC)
Today I removed large parts of 1)production credits and non-notable cast credits, per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Musical_Theatre/Article_Structure.
I also removed the specific actors who sang each song-it seems to me that the list is just that-what songs are performed. The original cast recording, of course, shows the first, or original, cast, but that is simply not the point of this song list. JeanColumbia 11:22, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
I removed the "Cleanup" tag/template because I believe that this article now complies with the MOS guidelines, as well as with the Musical Theatre structure guidelines. JeanColumbia 18:51, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
If anyone has the references needed to write a more detailed background section (the info about the Disney theme park shows is a start) and summarize the reviews to add a critical response section, this article could be improved to B-class. Beyond that (but less important), I suggest that we remove the closing cast and instead list the notable replacements and notable stars of other productions. The plot summary is a bit too long, I think, and there should be some discussion of how the musical's story differs from the movie. G'Night, Chip! -- Ssilvers 19:30, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
I deleted the entire newly added detailed material about the songs from Beauty and the Beast that were included in On The Record per the Musical Theatre Article Structure under "Recordings": "This should be a short list of recordings completely about this musical (i.e. not "this song was included on so-and-so's greatest hits CD")". The material might be appropriate in the article on On the Record. (I have not specifically looked at that article to see whether the material would fit or be useful, just a suggestion.)

An editor changed the first sentence of the Lead to read "Beauty and the Beast was..." (emphasis mine). I changed the "was" back to "is", based on this statement from the Musical Theatre Article Structure guideline: The introduction should begin with the name of the musical in boldface and italics, referred to in the present tense (i.e. "Oklahoma! is a musical...." not "Oklahoma! was a musical....").

But the musical is closed. We only keep is if the musical is playing in another country. Oscar22 07:32, 26 Agust 2007 (UTC)
I've never had a source questioned, so I am not sure how to proceed. In one instance, I deleted the source and added another. In the oter instance, I added the direct quote, which I had previously summarized. I have read (many times) the section on verifiabilty [3], and I can only say that I believe that the Houston Chronicle meets the test of a reliable source as it is a mainstream newspaper, ublished, I assume it has editorial oversight, etc as it is a newspaper. The other source was also a newspaper (The Mirror), but I can't say for sure what kind of paper it is, as it is a London paper, so I deleted it. If I have totally missed the point, please assume good faith on my part, I've tried very hard to get this article in shape. Thanks! JeanColumbia 17:19, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
The other issue is the lengthy plot synopsis; as I've said before, I haven't seen the show and I worry that I might delete something important, so I'll leave that for others. JeanColumbia 17:52, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
1. I don't think the London cast needs to be listed. It only ran two years there, and the production can be adequately described in the production section. 2. The section with external links to productions should just be footnotes to the production section. 3. The Differences Between Play and Movie section should be narrative, not a bulleted list, per WP:MOS, which discourages lists. Best regards, -- Ssilvers ( talk) 20:04, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
I have fixed the differences between the musical and the movie section. I hope it is to everyone's liking. If not please feel free to change it if you wish. Headstrong 345 ( talk) 20:10, 3 November 2009 (UTC)Headstrong 345
Why is Canada listed under National tours? Also, shouldn't National be "United States"? 50.135.59.160 ( talk) 15:34, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
Can someone please enter some information on each character, and whether they are a non-singing role or a singing role etc. I am auditioning and don't know the story and want a non-singing but only speaking principal role
I know that their is info on the songs, but there seems to be no page for the Orinigal broadway soundtrack, and I was just wondering if I were to put one up would it be removed. I know some people may see it as uselss but I think it would be a good idea. Headstrong 345 ( talk) 00:25, 19 March 2009 (UTC)Headstrong 345
Why is there no information on the designers and production team?
