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). Then, click on those links and update them to point to the film article. Thanks! Don't Play Us Cheap Roberta How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying I Married an Angel Lady in the Dark The Band Wagon - musical adaptation will to be forked after it opens in April.

In London, Steve Pemberton took over from Bob Martin early on (July 10th) - still part of the original cast (since this isn't touring, or completing it's full run, the "Original London Cast" must included anybody playing a billed part within it's short 3 month run). Having seen one of the last shows, I've got to say Steve Pemberton was perfect.... Anon - 17.29, 4 August 2007 GMT.

The hyperlink on Joseph Alessi appears to be wrong - I don't think he is a world renowned trombonist? 82.44.179.199 17:00, 10 June 2007 (UTC) SS

Geez, who wrote this article...the show's publicist?? SamJ93 06:43, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

The cast lists need to be put into a suitable tabular form to constrain the layout. --Dunstan ^talk 15:10, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cast lists, list of cities for the tour, producers

1) I deleted ensemble and swings per "The names of non-notable (i.e., non-bluelinked) ensemble and chorus members, understudies and non-notable production team members (other than directors and choreographers) should be deleted. Only the actors playing principal (significant speaking and singing) roles should be mentioned..."

2) I deleted most of the list of cities the tour is scheduled to play, but left the notable one, (Los Angeles) where the show originated, and the starting city. I just don't believe any article needs a list of tour cities, unless it is to say "The tour started in ... and ended in..." or is of some particular interest.

3) I deleted lengthy list of producers, it seems to be rare to list all of the producers for a production, I suppose based on, perhaps, they are not notable (?)--left in the Cameron Macintosh reference, he is notable. (My comments should not be taken as disparaging the producers.)

My general reference for these edits is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Musical_Theatre/Article_Structure

[edit] Restore part of deleted Plot summary?

There used to be a more detailed plot summary here back before it was deleted on December 30, 2006. If anyone wants to look back there, you could put back the information, perhaps in a slightly shorter form. There was no reason to delete it wholesale. -- Ssilvers 16:42, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] John Glover as "Man in Chair

I saw The Drowsy Chaperone in early August. As of that time, John Glover was the "Man in Chair", does anyone know when this changed or if it is anymore than trivial to the article. -- Jetset59 23:38, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vinyl album

I don't have time to work on this right now, but I'm adding it here so either I can come back to it later or someone else can take care of it. According to this Playbill article, The Drowsy Chaperone had a special release on a Vinyl album similar to the one used in the show, making it "the first Broadway cast album to appear in vinyl LP form in nearly 20 years." I thought this was important enough to be included. —Mears man (talk) 14:55, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
