[edit] Last "Hit" in a Decade

I'd dispute the line that Big River "was the last American hit musical for almost a decade". The citation listed states that after Big River, "a full decade would go by before a new American musical would pass the 1,000 performance mark." Those two statements are not equivalent. And, after reading the cited article, I think the author takes some liberties with the numbers and definition of "new."

I'd like to remove the citation, but wanted to see if there were any objections before doing so. Nybound 14:25, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

I agree -- I got rid of it. The sentence, now, is a little POV, but, given the subject matter of the show, I think it's okay.... —  MusicMaker 08:02, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
