Talk:Hugh Wheeler

Untitled
I deleted the following section, which doesn't cite a reliable source, is unencyclopedic in style, and digresses into an irrelevant (and confusingly written) anecdote:


 * He was also a friend of Noel Coward, he was homosexual which is why he left England, he was not on good speaking terms with his brother, who had 3 children, 2 daughters and one son (called John Wheeler, an Engineer), one of them was to inherit his money. John Wheeler may have got it, but when a rather large man came up to him and asked what he did, and when he told the man, got a rather disgusted reply, John said," So what do you do then!?"


 * The man was Noel Coward, the money all went instead to the youngest daughter, who was on the best speaking terms with him.


 * (Anonymous writer, who happens to know John Wheeler)

If a source can be found to substantiate his sexual orientation and friendship with Noel Coward, those statements could be added back to the article. Snarkibartfast 21:42, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Bad link to 'Candide'
the link to Candide in the title summary should link to the operetta, not the french satire.

 * Wheeler won back-to-back Tony and Drama Desk Awards in 1973 and 1974 for his books for the musicals A Little Night Music and Candide, and won both again in 1979 for his book for Sweeney Todd.

Pacific Overtures
Why is this musical listed as a Hugh Wheeler credit? John Weidman wrote the book; Sondhein wrote the music andd lyrics; and Hal Prince directed. TheScotch (talk) 01:02, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
