Talk:Xanadu (musical)

Cheyenne Jackson
The article presently state Cheyenne Jackson dropped out of the cast of the musical production. This is not true. And in fact the article mentions him starring in the musical further down. I saw the show, for the third time, again tonight (5/13/2008) and he is still starring in it.-- 11:17, 12 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep reading the next paragraph. Jackson was in the workshop, but he was not available for the show.  James Carpinello was originally cast as Sonny, but he injured himself on June 12.  By that time, Jackson was available again and joined the cast.  Also, new messages go at the bottom of the talk page, not at the top. -- Ssilvers (talk) 07:11, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Evil Woman
According to Playbill, "Evil Woman" is a song added to the show. I had put it into the song list (not sure where it goes, but it seemed like it was in the second half), and someone deleted it. Who sings it, and where does it go in the song list? Best regards, -- Ssilvers 12:58, 24 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I think "Evil Woman" is back in the song list. Thanks--Broadwaygal 14:33, 24 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Oh, OK. I see that it was moved up to the first half.  Best regards, -- Ssilvers 14:59, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Assessment
I assessed this as a B. It has a good synopsis and about all the background and production information that is available. -- Ssilvers 05:19, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I see your logic, but I'm going to shift it to "Start," because as soon as it opens, there will be far more available; also, the synopsis seems incredibly detailed, which drags down the article a bit. Lawikitejana 12:59, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Reviews
WP is not an advertisement. If you want to quote from the review, make sure your quote is EXACT. The headline of the review is not part of the review and was likely written by an editor. Please read WP:NPOV. -- Ssilvers 18:50, 15 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I deleted a large part of each of the reviews because: 1) it read a bit too much like a "fan" or "press agent" or --it needs to be said again -- advertising (see:Wikipedia is not an advertising service. Promotional articles about yourself, your friends, your company or products, or articles created as part of a marketing or promotional campaign, will be deleted in accordance with our deletion policies. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Spam.) 2) seemed to me to be close--if not actually in violation of :. JeanColumbia 11:01, 16 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree, Jean, but you deleted all the criticism and kept only the praise. I have attempted to re-balance the quoted extracts.  Looks OK?  -- Ssilvers 16:03, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Oops, didn't mean to get it so unbalanced! Better now, yes. (Here I am criticizing the "fan" aspects, and I did a very fan-like edit.My bad.)JeanColumbia 16:57, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Kerry.jpg
Image:Kerry.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.

Context needed for category
One thing Wikipedia lacks is a "citation needed" tag for categories. So consider this one for the "LGBT-related musicals" tag. There is nothing in the article to support its inclusion, so more context is needed. I don't see anything in the article on the original film either. 136.159.160.121 (talk) 17:09, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
