Old comment

I was in the show as Mr. Gatch, and got most of this information from the sources listed and the program to our show.

Fair use rationale for Image:H2$.jpg

Image:H2$.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:39, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Overwritten

The synopsis for this show is WAY overwritten. It's much too detailed; per the WikiProject Musical Theatre guidelines, it shouldn't need a scene by scene synopsis, and shouldn't be more than 2 or 3 paragraphs per act (800-1000 words total). I will work on thinning it down when I get home next week (4-Sept-2007). Also, it needs a fork between the stage productions and the film, which should be in separate articles. -DrGaellon (talk | contribs) 20:09, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

I've removed the plot summary for now. At 2,000 words it was still far too long. Really it should be possible to summarise the plot in three or four paragraphs. We don't need detail. Summarise. --Tony 01:04, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Don't throw the baby out with the bath water. If it is too long, streamline it. Our guidelines at WP:MUSICALS state the the plot synopsis is one of the most important sections in an article about a musical. -- Ssilvers (talk) 06:08, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

It's still absolutely enormous. 1800 words of plot synopsis for a two act musical? Well over half the article. Really overdoing it. --Tony 06:23, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Still, removing the synopsis is a horrid solution. If you think the synopsis is to long, fix it, don't throw it out. I'll take a look at the synopsis also (as I assume a few others are) and see what I can't streamline. --omtay38 07:13, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Mad Men makes this classic newly relevant

I fail to understand why here in infinite cyberspace there was apparently a battle, four years ago, over the synopsis being too detailed. Why force a scholar like myself, researching Mad Men inspirations, to go over to some other resource? Wikipedia has been troubled by editors who seem to cut for the pleasure of doing so. Perhaps in this case they were unaware how central a work this was to its era? All Columbia freshmen were taken to see it during Freshman Week for as long as it ran. It summed up an era's aspirations. Mad Men has revisited that era. But enough, before someone tells me my comment is overlong. Profhum (talk) 12:24, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Relevant?

why is the 2007 crystal lake productions production of this show on this page? why does it merit being on this page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.249.202.6 (talk) 05:18, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Who did the Book Voice for the 1967 Film?

Carl Princi would be my guess since they kept so many from the play when they made the film, but it would be just a guess. There's no information from the film credits (or imdb.com). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Petzl (talk • contribs) 03:01, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Chemical Joke

No mention of the chemical joke in the poster? Pity. I thought it was quite clever. -- Derek Ross | Talk 18:57, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Link Removal

The link to the "Ellen Harvey" wiki page was removed from the Cast Lists section because that page is actually for a different artist with the same name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.199.68.108 (talk) 05:16, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

someone hoaxed the imDB link
