Talk:Nice Work If You Can Get It (musical)

Background
An IP has deleted the part of the background that discusses the delay and then cancellation of the show with Harry Connick, and Marshall leaving the show, on the grounds that it is confusing and irrelevant. (I hope I have summarized this correctly, feel free to add/correct.) [add @ 4:55pm, EDT - "misleading" is the term IP used]. I agree that this is now way too much of the goings on, but I think this article needs to have some short paragraph to show "what happened", or to wrap it up, so to speak. Therefore, I am proposing something like this:

"In 2008 it was announced that the musical was "officially postponed", due to a change in the producing team; Connick ultimately left the project, and Marshall resumed her creative role."

 * By the way, "gossipy details garnered from various minor press postings" (IP edit summary): I hope that does not mean that a production at Goodspeed and a workshop, referenced by Playbill.com and the Hartford Courant, written by Frank Rizzo, are included? Many Musical theatre articles 1) note pre-Broadway productions and workshops 2) use Playbill as a reliable source 3) the Hartford Courant, and Mr. Rizzo, are, I think, also reliable sources. If you wish to discuss what is, and is not, a reliable source (WP:RS)for Musical theatre articles, that would be most welcome at the talk page for that project. Should you wish to NOT include pre-Broadway productions, such as workshops, that also would be a most interesting discussion topic at . Flami72 (talk) 22:03, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Hoax and vandalism
This article is the latest obsession of various IPs, who add hoax/false cast lists, the latest being User talk:96.224.17.19. These hoax/vandal casts will be deleted with no further discussion, see Long-term abuse/Broadway Hoaxer of the long term hoax/vandalism by many moving IPs.Flami72 (talk) 09:56, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Here is the IP of the most recent dynamic/moving hoaxer/vandal: User talk:71.183.177.19.Flami72 (talk) 13:05, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Most of the persons mentioned in the first sentence of this article had been dead for decades in the year 2012.
The "background" is woefully lacking. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zebedee Dudek (talk • contribs) 22:55, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
