Is anyone willing to write a plot synopsis? Zephyrprince 06:31, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Song Titles
I don't know anything about writing articles for Broadway shows, so maybe it's just an idiosyncrasy in the category, but I find the song titles in parentheses to be weird. Is it intentional, or are they actually supposed to be in brackets ([[ ]]) to make them into links? I didn't want to change something that's supposed to be there... --Ecurran 04:14, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
The songs are in () to tell you which song is going on in that time of the story. Rather, what song that lets you know what's going on. -broadwayblonde
Yeah, but there are some continuity issues. I've seen some plot synopses where they capitalize the song titles. I think that would be better and when the song title fits into the sentence the parenthesis aren't needed. I'm going to make those changes. If it pisses anyone off too much they can change it. It's just a minor thing and it'll make the synopsis (which is very well-written, props to whoever wrote it) a little more readable. Lmr5069 03:51, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
Hello - I'm the one who put the song titles in the parentheses. The synopsis had seemed to be lifted entirely off http://www.theatre-musical.com/aida/synopsis.html, so I put the songs in where that website said the songs went. I double checked the accuracy using the libretto, the link to which I posted at the bottom. Fortune Favors the Brave (Reprise) was not on the theatre-musical site, but it was in the libretto, so I added it. I hope it helped, but feel free to change it if you think it looks weird. I've never edited Wikipedia before.
I don't know what to sign off as, so I'll just say "Anonymous".
[edit] Copyright violation in plot synopsis
The plot synopsis appears to have been entirely lifted from [1]. I'm removing it from the page; it will remain in the page history if someone wants to attempt to get permission to use it. See Wikipedia:Copyright_violations and Wikipedia:Requesting_copyright_permission. --ArthurDenture 02:22, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Amateur Productions
Just in regards to the Amateur Productions section - is it really necessary to list every association and high school that has made an amateur production of the musical? Amateur productions of musicals are quite a common thing, and have no association to the original production - except for the score, so is it really necessary to list so many high schools and drama clubs on the list? A few would suffice...

[edit] Amateur Productions
I've cleaned up the Amateur Productions section, leaving only those organisations with Wikipedia articles, and I have removed the spammish upcoming performances - for a listing of the many, many licensed amateur performances, please see this page:
