Swoon
What is the meaning of the verb "swoon"? I cannot find a definition that makes sense. Or is that slang? Or is it a typo? "Swoon" is used in this article, in the passage: ...The White Knight attempts to swoon Alice... 71.207.224.57 (talk) 19:57, 16 August 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't think you should use swoon as a verb. The whole plot summary is poorly written, but I don't have time to try to fix it now, and I don't have a script anyhow.  -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:11, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Trivia
Why do people add trivial nonsense to articles? The fact that Linda Eder sang a song from this show on Kathy Lee Gifford's last appearance with Regis Philbin isn't relevant at all, besides not being referenced. 209.247.22.164 (talk) 14:08, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Random
I'm sorry this isn't relevant, but I absolutely loved watching this show! Relevant: Chloe runs away, she doesn't fall down an elevator shaft. The plot was a little shaky because they were still making changes to it before their premiere, and the nights after too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.168.131.113 (talk) 04:30, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Big Changes
It was in the local paper this morning (January 20, 2010, the St. Pete Times) that the musical is going through some pretty extensive changes. Not many details were given, but they did say that the plot has been rewritten so it's pretty different, four ne2w songs were added, and that "Don't Wanna Fall In Love" was cut. (Sob...that was my favorite number!) Should we include this or wait until we have more information about exactly what they're altering when the show opens in Houston? (They did say the cast list was the same, though, so one less thing to worry about.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.78.70.183 (talk) 22:25, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I see no reason why you could not at least start to write a section that briefly describes what is happening in the way of book rewites, songs in/new songs. There are sources, the one you cited & this one: [] (or are they the same?). This just needs to be carefuly referenced. Also, since the musical opened last night in Houston, there should be reviews/articles soon. I have added the statement re the show's future from the reference. JeanColumbia (talk) 12:28, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Those sources are the same. To be honest, though, I am somewhat new to majorly editing articles and I am not very good at citing cources. I just thought that I'd put the information out there for someone more skilled. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.78.70.183 (talk) 01:12, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I added a brief statement about the changes, from the newspaper article; since the article was not very specific, I had to keep it general.JeanColumbia (talk) 13:31, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you. Have any reviews come out about the changes in Houston? I know it opened a few days ago, and reviews should have been published by now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.78.70.183 (talk) 02:19, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
 * See the "Critical reception" section, the last paragraph beginning with "The review of the Houston production in The Houston Chronicle stated" and see the complete Houston review that I linked to (footnote 13). That review does not specifically discusss changes.JeanColumbia (talk) 04:34, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

If someone from Houston (or even someone in the cast/crew) is reading this, could you let me know how the plot is different from the summary listed here? It would be a huge help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.78.70.183 (talk) 20:03, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Planned productions
Hi. Planned productions should not go in the infobox; only major productions that have already opened. See WP:MUSICALS article structure guidelines. See also WP:CRYSTAL. Once the Broadway production opens, it will replace all the tryouts in the infobox. All the best, -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:12, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Title
According to Playbill, the official title of the musical is no longer Wonderland: Alice's New Musical Adventure. Rather, the title is ''Wonderland - A New Alice. A New Musical.''

See here: http://www.playbill.com/news/article/146271-Wildhorns-Wonderland-Buds-in-Florida-Jan-5-16-Prior-to-Broadway "The show's full title is Wonderland. A New Alice. A New Musical." Both the official Facebook and Twitter pages, however, use a colon after "Wonderland."

Shouldn't the article title be changed accordingly? Either to plain "Wonderland (musical)" or with the appropriate tagline? Thanks. ~Lvb314 t · c 04:28, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Plot and musical numbers
The article should not have two plots and two lists of musical numbers. It should present the Broadway plot and song list and describe in summary form and footnotes what the major changes have been in the book and score. The earlier productions were pre-Broadway tryouts, so they don't need so much detail; readers won't read two complete plots and carefully compare three song lists - we need to help them with a summary. -- Ssilvers (talk) 03:12, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree with Ssilvers. The way it is currently set up is retarded.  --Jerome Potts (talk) 23:36, 15 May 2011 (UTC)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.115.180.124 (talk)

Now that the Broadway plot has been added and the show has closed, I deleted the plots and song lists based on the earlier versions. If anyone wishes to do so, there could be some information added to the background and production sections to describe how the story and score evolved up to the Broadway version. In the meantime, the Plot summary is a bit confusing. Can anyone clarify it? -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:08, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Also, the summary leaves out the very end: the real-world Jack turns up at Alice's new home and he and Alice decide to get back together. NeoAdamite (talk) 05:36, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

There were 5 song lists in the article. I have removed all but the Broadway list.Mark E (talk) 11:33, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
