[edit] Notability of high school and community theatre productions

Are upcoming high school and community theatre productions necessary and important for this article? I don't think they are, and would remove them, but would like to hear what others think.--Mtleslie 07:54, 9 January 2007 (UTC).

They should probably be moved to a new page, possibly "List of performances of Thoroughly Modern Millie" or removed from the article. The list is distracting from the content. Digitalblue 01:36, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Fine idea to me ;) Chivista 18:56, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Dinner theater and high school productions do not have a place in Wikipedia. The info about them is neither necessary for this article nor warrants one of its own. I have removed that section from this article and strongly suggest a new one not be started. If it is it will be proposed for deletion. SFTVLGUY2 16:08, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

They're just putting them in the article again. I'm eliminating them. 75.2.160.171 23:33, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

I think they are unneeeded

I wrote it to use "The Secret" and visualize myself in the role. I am going to play Millie, when i make it. I knew it would be edited out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.249.135.104 (talk) 03:48, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] London production

Have amended existing entry to reflect the theatre's earlier record of success (e.g. in its earlier incarnation as The Prince's, q.v.) Tim Riley 22:44, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Elmer Bernstein

He won an Oscar for the movie score. Is *none* of his music retained for the musical? He is credited for the cast album here but not credited here. IBDB gives him no credit. I'm guessing that the first reference above is mistaken. Best regards, -- Ssilvers 22:22, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Original Cast?

Is there any way that we could get a list of the original cast members and the roles they portrayed added to the article? —Mears man 20:26, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Naming of the Chinese Henchmen

Ching Ho and Bun Foo are brothers, yet they do not share a surname. Is there any explaination for this?

Another related question: their names seem to be in the wrong order. Miss Dorothy refers to Ching Ho as "Mr. Ho", when according to traditional Chinese name order, it should be "Mr. Ching". Of course, this could just be revealing Miss Dorothy's ignorance of Oriental traditions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.175.92.23 (talk) 08:39, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
