[edit] WikiProject Theatre
I have taken this article on as a part of the WikiProject Theatre. My plans to improve:
- This article has several non-professional comments and NPOV issues
- This article lacks several references and unverified facts
- This article needs Wikification
- This article needs stub sorting

[edit] Lincoln Theory
If someone knows anything more about this theory as well as why it might be used to wish someone 'good luck' please expand that section. I have not removed it from my initial wikification of this article as it has the potiental to be elaborated and is an interesting fact. However, if this section is not expanded in due time, it will be removed. Mkdwtalk 02:10, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
Notice Please stop inserting comments about the Lincoln theory as being the earliest recorded use of the term. No notable source has yet been found to support that statement. It has been contradicted by several other sources which reference earlier known use of the term. No true evidence exists that' break a leg' truly refers to that incident, it's purely popular speculation. Thank you. Mkdwtalk 10:41, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Break A Leg the sitcom
There's an online sitcom called Break A Leg its over at www.myspace.com/breakalegthesitcom and breakaleg.tv
It ran for a contest that FX had, and it just released a pilot episode. Is that notable enough to get a mention? There's other online things (I think they're called webisodes) that have gotten mention on wikipedia.
I can't figure out how to do the squiggly line to sign my name on this keyboard so just as a reference, my username is Geekening. The following unsigned comment was left by User:189.142.154.92
- The article Break a leg (sitcom) was deleted after an AFD for failing WP:SPEEDY on several accounts. You can find the full results here. The reference to it in this article was also deleted correspondingly. Mkdwtalk 11:24, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
