Talk:Young Frankenstein (musical)

message: Since the show is still in the development stage, where did this synopsis come from? Can it be referenced to a reliable source? Or is it just a summary of the original film's plot? ConoscoTutto 13:52, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Hm, good point, perhaps a newspaper review will be forthcoming shortly. JeanColumbia 18:58, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The detailed summary here appears to be from the film. Referencing the Playbill.com article cited by JeanColumbia, I am deleting most of it because, like a song list, many changes can occur before opening night. ConoscoTutto 17:05, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Plot synopsis--I put together a plot synopsis from a few Seattle reviews, since the previous one may have been a copy vio. as Ssilvers pointed out. (My edit summary was incorrect-the previous synopsis is from the Official site, altho' repeated on playbill.com.)We still don't have a complete song list, but that probably will not be available in a "reliable" "verifiable" form until this show opens on Bway. Getting there! JeanColumbia 11:20, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Synopsis

message: Except for "Puttin' on the Ritz", I don't think the individual songs from this show are notable and need their own articles.  If you read those articles, they don't contain any more information other than what is in the show's article, and the ones I looked at also have some unreferenced OR/POV.  There certainly don't need to be an redlinks in the song list.  -- Ssilvers 01:32, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm in complete agreement with the comments from Ssilvers; I have once again removed useless red links (per WP:OVERLINK), and ...common sense. JeanColumbia 12:17, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Separate articles for songs

message: I think we should add the scenes to the show. We know them by reading the summary on the soundtrack. I tried it but they kept deleating my work. Melbrooksfan101 (talk) 05:32, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Scenes

message: Please do not add scenes to the song list or in any other form, per consensus and per Musical Theatre structure. The scenes are in the plot/synopsis; the so-called "soundtrack" is not relevant here. I have not placed a warning on the talk page because it is locked (due to having two usernames, Melbrooksfan101 and Soapfan101 ([]. I believe that would also be known as sockpuppet see WP:SOCK). These edits now show a long term pattern of vandalism. I would ask that they be discontinued. Thank you.  JeanColumbia (talk) 10:20, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The user page is now unblocked, appropriate message left. This user (Melbrooksfan101) has also vandalised Mame in the same manner. JeanColumbia (talk) 10:38, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

text: Rather convienient that you lost the password for an account that was blocked for vandalism.  Personal attacks are unnecessary.  Jean's lengthy track record is unblemished.  You've been here for a month and have acted inharmoniously.  With whom do you think people should side?  —  MusicMaker5376 23:43, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Hello, Melbrooksfan101.  WP:MUSICALS project articles generally do not break the Synopses or song lists into scenes.  There may be a couple of exceptions, especially for musicals that are organized into very well defined vignettes and do not have a narrative storyline, but you will see that the vast majority do not break the musicals down into scenes.  If you want to discuss this further, I suggest that you do it at the WP:MUSICALS discussion page.  Best regards, -- Ssilvers (talk) 03:28, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: The Law-song

message: The tour cast is still to be announced.  Unless you can find a published source for that cast list (which seems unlikely seeing as how Drew Seeley is too young to play Igor and Martin Short and Fran Drescher are a little too famous for a tour like this), they will be deleted.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.225.111.36 (talk) 21:11, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Technically, I'm not sure that cast lists for touring productions are supposed to be included at all. WP:WPMT article guidelines state  "For the original Broadway or West End production, there may be a cast list.... Other productions should merely name the notable actors and production team members who have Wikipedia articles and can be blue-linked, unless their names are important to an understanding of the musical and its history. A citation to the full cast lists can be given so that the information is easily accessible to anyone who needs this information." Nowhere does it say that the full cast list should be included for touring casts, so if you find the information to be questionable I think you'd be justified in removing it. —MearsMan talk 21:59, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: All edits made by User_talk:24.90.42.12 are vandal edits s/he has been making these vandal edits since De, 2008, under this IP as well as several others; espcially likes to mess with Wicked & Legally Blonde (musical). I've tried to get her blocked, have done so for short periods, but she always emerges to vandalize again, under this or a different IP (or else it is a friend/copy-cat). She also has discovered Fran D, although she usually uses the younger actresses. Anyway, that entire tour list should be deleted, it is vandalism. The tour cast has not been announced (to my knowledge). As to the point that MearsMan makes, you are correct in your reading, but good luck in enforcing it! That's why I like the separate article for Legally Blonde (musical) cast lists that lists all of the casts, Broadway, tour and otherwise, it keeps the long lists out of the basic article and gives the fans a place to play. I also note that Wicked now has a cast list in table form that lists all of the Glindas and Elphabas, tour and elsewhere, notable or not (even lists understudies against the guidelines). And that is a Good Article!. JeanColumbia (talk) 22:22, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Tour Cast

message: Does Irving Berlin really need credit for music and lyrics in the box? Only one of his songs was used for the show and there is a note on that on the song list. Berlin is a great composer but he should be credited for Young Frankenstein other than in the note.--JDDJS (talk) 20:16, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Irving Berlin 

message: This section needs to be rewritten. It's too long and it is just quotes. It should be written to just express the general reviews and does not need to address each review individually. JDDJS (talk) 20:36, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
