[edit] Discussion

Partially ported info from the The Wild Party (poem) entry, new infoboxes, etc. I am aware that at the moment there are no citations and some material that could be considered original research, but I will be adding to the entry in the next few days to make it more encyclopedic. Just got tired of seeing this and the Lippa version on the "to-do" list! I saw this one on Broadway during its short run and will be digging up my Playbill and other articles I know of. I actually have a reasonable amount of info with which to flesh this out. However, I'm not very good at the image-upload thing, so if anyone else has any images they want to add, please do so!

[edit] Expansion

I added a brief summary of the plot and a description of the characters. I also changed some of the formats (awards and nominations, cast list) to conform to what seems to be the standard style used in musical theatre articles. I added the sequence titles to the song list. I removed the reference to Eartha Kitts "11 o'clock number" because while the expression is understood by musical theatre fans it would be a mystery to the average reader, and there's no Wikipedia article describing it that could be linked to explain the term. I would be careful about adding more images since this has become a hot topic lately. ConoscoTutto 14:38, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

I also corrected the links in other articles so they would link here instead of the article about the original poem. ConoscoTutto 15:13, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
