A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on June 2, 2017 and June 2, 2021. |
An anonymous user wrote that Merrily We Roll Along was not a hit, and that the Stephen Sondheim version in 1981 was more popular. Not true. The 1935 edition ran for five months, the 1981 revival less than two weeks. See it on IBDB [1]. -- K72ndst 00:29, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

I removed this line:
"Part of the commercial appeal of Kaufman's persona was derived from the fact that he, like Dorothy Parker, appeared to be a serious type of person, surrounded by effete or demonstrative celebrities like Woollcott, Franklin P. Adams, and Harpo Marx
--because it is an unreferenced opinion, not fact. How does one determine who is "effete" or a "demonstrative celebrity"? (What is a demonstrative celebrity anyway??)Nowax 19:14, 25 May 2007 (UTC)Nowax
Wow, a project of depth, thought and lasting impact! Most cool, I'm in! Chris 06:09, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
Would it not be correct to say that, at least in appearance, Barton Fink is modelled after Kaufman? WilliamSommerwerck ( talk) 15:56, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
I only know of two shows that Kaufman produced. Seems like his production credits are being overstated, unless theres more than I know. (I'm more of a musical theatre person, so obviously there could be more, but there was no real organized off-Broadway at the time and IMDB only lists two.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alisar ( talk • contribs) 06:16, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
The "Musical theatre" section discusses "[t]he discarded song []as 'Always'" but the Wikipedia page on the song calls this a myth. The two should be brought into accord. Czrisher ( talk) 16:20, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
