For me there is no doubt that Weitzman is a notable creative professional, but I am unsure how best to proceed with further developing this article. Help would be appreciated. —Alalch E. 15:29, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See if any of the people listed in Category:Dramaturges have an FA article, or if not, a GA article, and look at that for ideas. -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:19, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Too thin?

[edit]

I don't know much about sourcing for musical theatre, any chance someone could take a look at the draft at User:Valereee/Rutka (musical) and confirm for me what I suspect: that the sourcing is too thin to move to mainspace at this point.

Thanks for any help! I'm actually seeing it next weekend, so I can get photos of the set, and I thought I'd go ahead and start a draft, but I'm not really sure at what point a musical becomes notable. :D Valereee (talk) 16:33, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say it's sourced enough and has enough coverage to move to mainspace. Mark E (talk) 20:49, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The referencing is OK (notes 3 and 4 should be replaced by independent sources), but I am not sure that the musical is notable yet. If it never received another production, then it would always be a musical with no notable cast that ran for less than one month at a regional theatre. On the other hand, if it gets a bunch of reviews in national publications, then I'd say it probably tips over into the notable range. I'd wait until October 18th to see what reviews it gets. -- Ssilvers (talk) 04:08, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, both! I'll keep it in draft for now, see what happens. Hoping it will get something national per the NYT's recommendation list, and the Enquirer is describing it as being incubated for eventually heading to Broadway. Always fun when that happens and you can say you saw it first. :) Valereee (talk) 13:09, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Fantasticks is missing a reception section. Can anyone add a discussion of the 1960 reviews and later reviews? It seems that the show was not well received initially, but later earned critical acclaim. -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:53, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
