Lots of early musicals were choreogrphed by the director, including Gilbert and Sullivan shows. See this list of casts, directors and choreographers. For instance, The Beauty of Bath in 1906 had the same director and choreographer. -- Ssilvers 03:27, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
The Rodgers and Hammerstein Organization is concerned with managing PR for R & H, not with dispensing fact-checked information. There most certainly were plenty of director-choreographers in the early American musical, notably Julian Mitchell and Edward Royce. And in the few years before Allegro, George Balanchine choreographed and directed Cabin in the Sky and What's Up. In both cases, a co-director was credited for the book scenes, but Balanchine still was the high maestro on both projects. The fact that the R & H Org. doesn't know any of this is no excuse for misleading Wikipedia readers. Fred Lane 05:16, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
The section recounting Sondheim's recollection of Allegro's opening night, for which a citation is needed, is verbatim from the publisher's notes on the musical's vocal score, as shown at http://www.amazon.com/Allegro-Vocal-Score-Richard-Rodgers/dp/0881880000 . I don't quite know whether to just cite that, put it in quotes, or what, but if somebody else doesn't take care of it, I hope I'll be back! GeorgeTSLC ( talk) 16:56, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
Just asking, I am not familiar with the criteria for FA to more than raise here: in the Productions section, do the "St. Louis Municipal Opera", "New York City Center" & "Arlington, Virginia" need to be wikilinked; does "Goodspeed Musicals" need to have the "East Haddam, Connecticut" added. FYI, there is also a review of the Signature Theatre production in the Washington Post, by Peter Marks, in January 2004. (Yes, I saw it there.) JeanColumbia ( talk) 12:04, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
I had this niggling feeling that the term "book" meant more than just a...like...book. That it was some theater term. Am realizing now, this means "script"? Anyhow, hope this is OK, but I'm going to add a wikilink to clarify at first usage. For morons like me. I actually googled for it...was bugging me! [1]
Although you do use "script" later, so maybe I don't understand the concept. Is it that the book includes more technical content?

You can link book to libretto, but literally every article about a musical contains the term, which is defined in the musical theatre article, which we do link, so I don't think you need to link book. -- Ssilvers ( talk) 16:47, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
Wonder if a little more here, in article, on the Perry Como recording (or even later Doris Day), might be useful for the reader. Como's came out at the same time the musical was running and was a popular tune. There's even an advertising image of him holding a platter with Allegro written, that might be a legally stealable image (I don't know all the rules on these advertisements). I saw it in one of my Billboard google searches but can't find now. Sorry if divergent and not pushing, just want to get the stuff down in case it was new insight.
This paragraph contains some repetition. The word "sought" is used twice. You could solve this by cutting the first sentence down to just state the fact that their first two musicals were hits. You might want to add (1943) and (1945) for dates of Ok.. and Car., but not sure. -- Ssilvers ( talk) 16:51, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi. It is not a 1947 musical, it's a musical that premiered in 1947. We always discuss the work itself in the first paragraph - creators, story. The date of the original production could start off the second paragraph, but you the way you structured the Lead, all the "production" stuff was in the third paragraph. I usually put the production stuff in the 2nd paragraph, and then the "discussion" in the third paragraph, so I would basically switch your 2nd and 3rd paragraphs.
If you must mention it in the opening paragraph, OK, but please move it out of the first sentence and clarify that that was only the year of original production. Unlike a film, which usually runs once and is fixed on celluloid, a musical is living thing and the date only refers to original production. Yes, the way FDS says it is OK. Thanks. -- Ssilvers ( talk) 18:50, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
In the last paragraph of the "Rehearsals and tryouts" section, there is a reference to a "Logan" but no context to let the reader know who he is and what he has to do with the show. I assume this refers to Joshua Logan? -- Thomprod ( talk) 17:16, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Sorry for my English: I'm learning it. The link Carousel is wrong. It's Carousel instead of Carousel.

Hello, I have edited the musical numbers to include all the sung parts. I hope that no one will edit me, as I believe the readers deserve to know all of the songs, no matter how short they are. However, if you have some official statement from R&H (the people or the organization) stating that my list is wrong, I will listen and revert it. If you do not agree with my list, please do not automatically edit it, because I am willing to talk. I own both the Libretto and the Vocal Score, so I am ready to talk. -- Gossipguy215 ( talk) 00:15, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
