message: Please do not remove reference tags again.  There are no references for any of the history, awards, or production information.  As examples, who is the editor/publisher of the Sondheim Guide, and what makes it rise to the level of WP:RS ?  What is the source for "Shortly after opening night, Jones withdrew from the show, allegedly due to illness, but actually due to stress he was suffering from ongoing divorce proceedings."  The reference tags have now been removed twice;  please don't do it again without providing citations.  Thanks you.  SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:16, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

message: An editor deleted the character list, which was relatively short and sweet.  I think the character list is helpful.  Does anyone else have an opinion on this?  -- Ssilvers 05:25, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I love character lists, especially when there are a number of characters, such as in this piece. Oh, well, looks like the guy who yells the loudest wins. (I have absolutely no intention of commenting further on the sad state of affairs that has developed. I sincerely hope my comment is not taken as "uncivil", and if so, I apologize in advance.)JeanColumbia 13:32, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Per the link rot template, I intend to provide the needed info for the refs, altho not using "cite" templates or the "reflist" tool (I am not very good at using those automated tools). This may take me a few days, possibly through Aug 18 due to other interests/activities/etc. See also the discussion of this link rot template at "Koavf" ([]) "Resolved:AWB access has been removed pending further discussion; Koavf indicated other editors are free to exercise BRD on this series of edits and that he would be refocusing efforts elsewhere. Further administrative action does not seem necessary; editorial actions may be discussed elsewhere." dated 16August 2011.

text: Not as hard as I thought, I am finished with my work on supplying appropriate formatting for references (where I could). I just ran the reflist tool and it found nothing that now needs formatting. I will look closely at this article later today or on Aug 18 before I remove the link rot template.

replies: text: After a careful review of the format of the references, it appears that there are no longer "bare urls" and so I have removed the link rot template.

message: In the introduction, I feel like the sentence "The original production was nominated for a then-unheard-of and subsequent record-setting fourteen Tony Awards and won six" should read: "The original production was nominated for a then-unheard-of and subsequently record-setting fourteen Tony Awards and won six."

thread_title:  Grammar 

message: I'm not sure if it merits a section to itself, but there was a Patrick Healey NYT write-up about Sondheim's "test staging" of another updated version of the show that took place 18 October 2013 at the Roundabout.  I haven't heard anything about whether or not the Roundabout is considering moving forward with a full production to date, but the rewrite, steering Bobby to being a gay man and gender-reversing more than a few roles (Alan Cumming performed the Joanne analogue) merited enough attention -- as much for the re-gendering as any of the other reworkings -- to get the Times treatment.
That Sondheim, after so many years of beating back discussion of Robert's sexuality, would look to revisiting/reworking/updating the show yet again, is perhaps noteworthy enough for a bried mention, but that's just my two cents. Absurdist1968 (talk) 10:16, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

message: I removed the column for vocal ranges/ voice per WP:MT article structure--
: "Vocal ranges for musicals articles should generally not be included in character lists unless a consensus of editors working on the article is obtained. Editors may remove the vocal ranges in the absence of such a consensus. For musicals that are similar to operas or operettas, however, such as Candide (operetta), or The Desert Song, it may be useful to include vocal ranges. In these cases, editors working on an article should attempt to reach a consensus and report the consensus on the article talk page."
There is no such consensus for this long-established article. This musical is not, in my opinion, "similar to operas or operettas".Flami72 (talk) 11:43, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: Vocal ranges / voice

message: I see nothing here about this song being based on "The Flight of the Bumblebee" by Rimsky-Korsakov and its resulting difficulty in singing it. Do you have any information on that ---
* Why did Sondheim choose to do that?
* Did he consult singers before-hand to judge whether it could be done at all?
* Verses of 50 to 70-ish words sung in 10 seconds or so is daunting indeed!
* Does he have favored singers for the job?
I personally think that Madeline Kahn did a wonderful job with the song. You can clearly hear TFOTB when she starts singing. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrRDrz53Q1E
