[edit] Off-Broadway song list

I think the off-broadway song list should be deleted. The show is playing on Broadway, and its early version is less important now for the encyclopedia reader. A footnote could mention the major changes, if people think that is helpful. -- Ssilvers 06:27, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

I disagree; I think it is interesting to see the evolution of the show over time, especially since the Off Broadway run was such a success and a major theatrical event of the 2005-2006 theatre season. hawkwild 19:36, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Definitely disagree. An off-Broadway production is a major professional production, not a workshop. It's relevant when, say, "Company" gets revived with new music to compare the new songs. It's just as relevant here, "pre-Broadway" version or not. It would be like sayin g "The Fantasticks" doesn't count as much as the dismal film version.... ChrisStansfield 02:14, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Michael Potts

Also, the "Michael Potts" link in the cast list pointed to the wrong Michael Potts. I wasn't sure how to fix this so I added a "2" after his name to break the incorrect link. This doesn't seem like a very elegant solution. Does anyone have a better one? Hawkwild 19:36, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

The usual way to disambiguate references to articles on people is by adding the profession in parentheses, like this: Michael Potts (actor). It works fine unless two people have not only the same name, but the same profession, in which case other means have to be used. I've changed it in the article already. - Nunh-huh 02:00, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
