Talk:Curtains (musical)

message: Is the list of musical numbers correct?  It differs substantially from the original cast recording.  Of course smaller numbers might be omitted from the cd, but the order is different as well.  Can someone shed light on the subject?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.174.188.70 (talk) 18:23, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

message: This article was a copyvio of the talkin' broadway source so I deleted all the text and rewrote it as a stub.-Dmz5*Edits**Talk* 03:54, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I cleaned up the article, added more info re: the original LA production, removed the premature infobox for the Broadway production (which had a distorted photo and incorrect opening night date), and added a template indicating this is an upcoming play.

replies: text: Thanks, if you don't mind I'm going to remove some of the reviews, as it sort of makes the article seem a tad spammy.  I think one line from one prominent review is enough.-Dmz5*Edits**Talk* 05:05, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I am removing the LA cast list, which was added to the article before the Broadway cast was announced. It no longer holds the relevance it did at the time it first was included. SFTVLGUY2 21:59, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Cast list edits

message: Do you deny that the piece is "a send-up of "back-stage murder mystery" plots, and its book and score are evocative of musicals from the '40s and '50s"?  If so, you have not seen it.  -- Ssilvers 19:58, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Please cite at least one of all the sources you claim say Holmes completely rewrote rather than completed the project. That none of the original book remains in the finished work seems highly unlikely. SFTVLGUY2 20:10, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Curtains.jpg

message: The plot section could probably stand to be expanded a bit to distinguish between Act I and Act II, to include the musical numbers in context to the story, and to provide the reader with a better idea as to how the show actually ends (personally, it looks to me like someone was trying not to spoil the ending for anyone when they wrote it).  My only real knowledge of the show comes from the soundtrack and this article, so I know I'd personally appreciate it if this section could be improved. —Mears man (talk) 05:03, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: LOL.  You're right!  When the musical came out, a now-blocked editor kept deleting plot details.  Unfortunately, now I don't remember the details well enough to write the ending.  Can someone help?  Best regards, -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:00, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I know how it ends, or, rather, who did it, but I can't remember the character's name. The clue is in the partial sentence that was removed: "...and a persistent member of the press is becoming a problem." (I saw it but, as I've mentioned, I'm almost on my Wikibreak and can't do any heavy work until late March). JeanColumbia (talk) 22:20, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

text: I used the Holmes synopsis as one of several sources to expand what was there.  If anyone has the script, they should check the facts, especially the exact sequence of events in the last couple of paragraphs, but it now complies with our article structure guidelines.

None of these editors has written an edit summary nor have they communicated, on this talk page (or any other) what their problems with this material may be.
I and another have reinstated the deleted material & I have given the appropriate warnings. However, due to my WP:3RR and WP:EDITWAR concerns, I will not revert this vandalism for several days, if then. (I don't know exactly how this works, when a group of editors reverts and edit wars, but I prefer not to risk my editing privileges over this.)  JeanColumbia (talk) 12:44, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
