[edit] Contradictory sources

I'm sorry but i don't have time to write this page, and some of the info i found was contradictory, so i will just let someone else do it. Here are two links. FlowerSniffer 15:25, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes, there is a lot of contradictory information! -- Ssilvers 03:52, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Nothing contradictory at all. Two versions of the musical. One in Toronto, Canada (the first one). After that closed down, the production was moved to London, where it is currently playing. Carcharoth 00:07, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Could you tell me if this was appropriate to go ahead with? Or if not, why? Thank You, John A25130177 (talk) 14:00, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

I think the issue here (why your edit was removed) is that it comes dangerously close to being an advert/directory listing for the show (Wikipedia is not a directory). Certainly your reference is not a good one - the official site should be quoted for this info. In fact, there is already a link to the official site where all this information can be found for those who really want it... Hope that makes some sense - feel free to ask if not! -- Dafyd (talk) 18:00, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
