Talk:Hello, Dolly! (musical)

message: I, for one, agree the film version is notable enough to deserve its own page separate from the musical (though I wasn't the one to put up the split tag).  thoughts?  Reimelt 18:27, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: film version split

message: There is already a separate article about the film, so we don't need a separate section here.  Maybe we should slim down the discussion of the film more, since people can read the film's article.  -- Ssilvers 16:10, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As always, I agree with less-is-better and have edited the film info, but it shouldn't be included with the stage production history. And again I have removed the comment that it was one of the most popular film musicals made earlier in the article, since it was a box office dud. SFTVLGUY2 16:16, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You yourself said, "Maybe we should slim down the discussion of the film more, since people can read the film's article," so why should any reference to its TV popularity be mentioned here? I didn't say it was a dud within this article; if I had done so your suggestion would be valid. The film article specifies it didn't make money until it was released on video, and that's where that info belongs. SFTVLGUY2 16:40, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Since it doesn't belong with the stage production history, I'll remove it completely. The film version is referenced at the start of the article anyway. SFTVLGUY2 18:06, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I will have to get my copy of the musical, but the plot synopsis seems a little thin.  Perhaps, when I find my copy, I will come back and flesh it out a little more.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:DollyPlay.jpg

message: I was editing the song list and I noticed that there seem to be some inconsistancies in how the "cast members who have no particular role in the musical but still dance and sing" are referred to in the song list. I usually use the term "Chorus." However, I also see the terms "Ensemble", "Dancers", and "Company". Do each of these terms have a slightly different meaning? The dancers don't actually sing; do they still deserve to be mentioned on the list? Also, "The Polka Contest" is not an actual song; it is just a the polka music used for, well, the Harmonia Gardens' Polka Contest. The cast members listed after it make it look like it involves some singing, which it doesn't.  I was in a production of Hello, Dolly! two years ago and I think I remember everything correctly, but I wouldn't want to make any errors. Does anyone else have any opinions regarding this?MarianKroy (talk) 18:30, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that Ensemble and Chorus are exactly the same; however Company means both the Ensemble and the Principals.  I think our articles usually use the term Ensemble instead of Chorus, which is consistent with the IBDB database, I think.  We usually do not mention dancers unless they have a big solo dance that is tantamount to their own number.  For important musical numbers that do not have lyrics, I usually write "instrumental" or something like that.  I would take out the name of the cast members, unless they are solo dancers or have specific speaking lines during the music, in which case, you can footnote this after listing the names.  Best regards, -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:45, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

text: Looks good.  I think "Dancing" is OK as is.  You could footnote the action, but it's not really a big deal, I think.  Nice edits.  -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:49, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Chorus? Ensemble?

message: I just saw Wall-E two days ago, and "Put on Your Sunday Clothes" and "It Only Takes A Moment" are a very significant part of the movie. However, all the music and video clips are from the movie, not the Broadway production. I don't know if this matters, since it's really just trivia. MarianKroy (talk) 13:16, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks!  I am moving this to the film article, then.  Best regards, -- Ssilvers (talk) 22:18, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Wall-E

message: Today I deleted an item (which had no WP:RS) about a Broadway revival "soon", "possibly with Patti LuPone in the title role. This, however, is unconfirmed.". I believe that this is still in the rumor stage and, although reported in the New York Times  ()(yes, it is quite easy to find sources), the nature of that article makes it clear that this is not "set" and is truly unconfirmed. Should others disagree, feel free to add it, but I think it should be phrased carefully and referenced according to standard Wikipedia guidelines (WP:VERIFY).JeanColumbia (talk) 17:45, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
