 * Keep Some sources that easily could be come references (largely found through newspapers.com/archive.org): front page feature story in the Los Angeles Times A1 A16 (2005 and was widely syndicated at the time); fairly strong mention about it in an article about Matthew Diffee originally from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram (2005); feature in the New York Daily News about the show in the context of a particular comic  (2005); nearly full page in Newsday about it  (2004). A first-party source would be book Rejected: tales of the failed, dumped and canceled by Jon Friedman, who created The Rejection Show, which has significant chunks about/derived from the theater show  (2009). All Things Considered did a story about and interviewed Friedman, probably in response to the LA Times story(?) titled "Commentary: Artists, writers and comics can present their rejected works at 'The Rejection Show' in New York City"  (wiki library link). New York Times three paragraph story about Valentines day talking about the show (with a couple of quotes from Friedman  (wiki library link) (2009).I can't find any thing much more recent but that isn't really required for an article and the amount of significant coverage it received seems sufficient unless I'm missing something.
