An anonymous user wrote that
Merrily We Roll Along was not a hit, and that the
Stephen Sondheim version in 1981 was more popular. Not true. The 1935 edition ran for five months, the 1981 revival less than two weeks. See it on IBDB

Removal of line from Celebrity
I removed this line:
"Part of the commercial appeal of Kaufman's persona was derived from the fact that he, like
Dorothy Parker, appeared to be a serious type of person, surrounded by effete or demonstrative celebrities like Woollcott,
Franklin P. Adams, and
Harpo Marx
--because it is an unreferenced opinion, not fact. How does one determine who is "effete" or a "demonstrative celebrity"? (What is a demonstrative celebrity anyway??)Nowax 19:14, 25 May 2007 (UTC)Nowax
Yes, it is an unreferenced opinion, and should be out. But if you read "Harpo Speaks," you'll know why "demonstrative" is the perfect word to describe Alexander Wollcott.

"Barton Fink"
Would it not be correct to say that, at least in appearance, Barton Fink is modelled after Kaufman?

Producing
I only know of two shows that Kaufman produced. Seems like his production credits are being overstated, unless theres more than I know. (I'm more of a musical theatre person, so obviously there could be more, but there was no real organized off-Broadway at the time and IMDB only lists two.) — Preceding

Always and The Cocoanuts
The "Musical theatre" section discusses "[t]he discarded song []as 'Always'" but
the Wikipedia page on the song calls this a myth. The two should be brought into accord.
