[edit] Movie?

There has been many a rumour about a movie version of the musical version, thereby creating a movie trilogy, the original French movie, the American version, and the Musical.

Anyone know anything more about the rumours?

That's nothing: Victor Victoria was a German film (Viktor und Viktoria) , then a British film (First a Girl), then an American film, then a musical. Saxophobia 21:32, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Point of View!

This article has horrible point of view issues. Which, of course, have no place in Wikipedia.--75.83.158.193 00:25, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tony Award-winning

I don't think intros should start off by describing musicals as "Tony Award-winning". It should start by telling who the musical is created by and what it is based on. Then it should talk about unique features of the work and finally, towards the end of the intro, notability, including that it won the Tony for best show, book or score (also mentioned in infobox). Note that there is a whole section on awards, so starting off with "Tony Award-winning" is very repetitive, and also doesn't tell the reader *which* Tony award. I also don't like when these intros start with "famous musical" or "popular musical". Again, it is vague, and notability should be described more clearly in the second paragraph of the intro. -- Ssilvers 13:47, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:LaCagePoster.JPG

Image:LaCagePoster.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. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
