Once
Hi, You put a clarify tag on the once article, and I'm struggling to see why it's needed? the article says "Once is a musical stage adaptation based on the 2007 film of the same name. The book was written by Enda Walsh[clarification needed]" this means the musical is adaptation, and the book for the musical was by Edna Walsh, as is the the same format with most other Musical pages to my knowledge. it's clear to me but then I already knew this so am happy to agree that others may not see it that clearly. DO you mean that it's not clear who wrote the script for the film first? as I do think the opening paragraph needs a slight rewrite...would this be any clearer?

Once is a musical stage adaptation based on the 2007 film of the same name by John Carney. Like the film, Music and lyrics were by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, and they retained many of the songs from the film including the Academy Award-winning "Falling Slowly". The book for the musical was written by Enda Walsh. --Jobscomforter (talk) 15:19, 7 April 2015 (UTC)


 * I've just reread your edit description and I understand what you mean now. To make it clear the musical is not based on a book, it's an adaptation of the film by John Carney. Where it states book by Edna Walsh it means she wrote the script, but in musical theatre, you are credited as writing the book not the script. hope that clears it up a little more. I feel the change I've made makes this clearer as Carney is credited first. Jobscomforter (talk)
