Talk:Jerico-Jim Crow

Incorrect article title
I don't know how to fix it, but the spelling is wrong in the article title, as well as in the text. It should be "Jerico," not "Jericho."

Even though "Jericho" is the standard place-name spelling and is the spelling used in the cited New York Times review of the play, Langston Hughes spelled it "Jerico" when he wrote the play, and that's how it appears in its published versions. Besides a theater program and an LP recording which I possess and which illustrate the spelling, see the WorldCat and Library of Congress catalog entries available online.

Play vs. Musical
The opening sentence said that the work is a play, but it is clearly a musical whose book (and some lyrics) were written by Hughes. So I changed it to reflect that. -- kosboot (talk) 14:25, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
