There are a couple where the musical needs to be "forked" from the source material. Feel free to add or remove as necessary. Important: If you split an article, please make sure that you move all the relevant links from the first article to the new one. To find which links to move, click on "What links here" at the old article and look through the list to see which links should be pointed to the film related link (for example, articles on actors in the film).

[edit] Assessment

This article is a very good start. All it needs to go to B-class is a good background/history section and an expansion of the introduction per WP:LEAD. Best regards, -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:26, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

My God, you move quickly. Are you ever not on Wikipedia? ChrisStansfield ^Contribs 20:31, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Just passed 25,000 edits, so I guess the answer is "no"!  :-) -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:49, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chita vs. Rivera

In my original synopsis, I specifically used "Chita" rather than "Rivera" as a way to distinguidh the "character" from the "actress" (since, ostensibly, someone else could do the role, unlikely as it seems.) Any thoughts? ChrisStansfield ^Contribs 20:50, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] History section added, more production info, some re-shuffling. Lede help requested.

I rearranged several of the sections so that they would more closely conform to the standards laid out on the WP:Musicals page, and also incorporated what little history of the production I could find. I'm finding myself at a bit of a loss for the Lead section, however- it pretty much already contains all the details called for in WP:Musical Theatre (creators, opening, etc)- it seems a bit small, but I can't figure out anything I can do to make it better without either unnecessarily padding it or repeating info that's found later in the article. If anyone else has any ideas, I'd appreciate you incorporating them. I also have more footnotes/references to add for the history section, but I'm getting a bit bogged down with real life for the moment, so it will wait until tomorrow.
