[edit] Image

1980? Then why was it not until about 1983 that the movie was released? Maybe I have this wrong.. I had the LP for a year befor ethe movie was released in Texas, --Rofthorax 07:38, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

I removed the image that was attached to the article. It was dismal in quality and had no information as to source or declaration of use. Using such an image is usually fair use, but it was such poor quality and cropped so badly that it was more a blotch than an asset to the article (stub or not). If someone wants to replace it with a decent image (with appropriate sourcing), please do so. —Frecklefoot 19:10, Mar 12, 2004 (UTC)

This article read like a commentary. Scientology and the film genre preferences of the gay are community are generaized. 199.212.129.2 12:54, 30 December 2005 (UTC) McKell

[edit] Deleted comment

[Deleted large body of text that was nonencyclopedic and not a comment on the article. Please see talk page history to view this text.]

Sorry, but Wikipedia is not a place for opinion like this. I propose that this article be substantially cleaned up so unsourced interpretation and other POV be removed.NYDCSP

And can I delete the unsigned "-damianclinton" missive above from the talk page? it's not germane and doesn't belong on WP.NYDCSP 06:45, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

NYDCSP, I did delete that info...that seemed to be some sort of personal rant, not any sort of commentary on the article or even, for the most part, the movie. NickBurns 21:13, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Separate section for Bway musical version

I am removing the reference to the broadway production under development and creating a new section, which can then be moved into a daughter article should the production open and take on its own relevance as a separate article.NYDCSP 06:45, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

--The production begins previews this weekend, and it opens at the end of June. I think it might be a good idea to beging a page on the musical. Thanks--Broadwaygal 18:39, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

There is an article on the musical at Xanadu (musical). -- Ssilvers 23:08, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

--Thanks, I guess I should have done more research. I was looking at the discussion page and thought that it hadn't happened yet. --Broadwaygal 23:10, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
