In what way is this article part of Wikiproject Broadway? As far as can be determined, it predates that project by a year, and the only change made to it since Wikiproject Broadway has started has been to edit a category.- Nunh-huh 02:45, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

Seems like The Winter Garden Theatre is a history of the theater and such. Is there anything there worth merging? — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 04:51, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for your prompt response to my article (of the original Winter Garden Theatre) but I urge against merging these two sections; they only share a name, but are two entirely different theatres, separated in time by over sixty years, and by location by one third of Manhattan. The history of the earlier theatre is quite distinct from the new Winter Garden in every way, which is why I spent some time researching and developing it. For one thing, the earlier Winter Garden has a major connection to the Booth brothers, and also to the prelude to the assassination of President Lincoln, which I would like to expand rather substantially at a later time. To merge these two articles would blur that profound connection of this earlier theatre to such important events with a modern "Broadway theatre", and therefore do injustice to a subjuect of great importance in American history.
Having worked some time on the article on the 19th century Winter Garden, and determining that one could determine between two entirely different theatres with the same name, the article appears to have vanished. Can someone direct me to where the article ended up?

Ooops, I just reread the above note and realized that that very article exists. Like trying to find parking on the Upper Westside!!! Weimar03 ( talk) 05:41, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
Should not a theater located in the United States be referred to as a 'theater' rather than 'theatre', unless the theater itself chooses to use the British spelling as an affectation? The one official site I can find for this venue, linked at the bottom of the article, uses the American spelling. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.19.48.154 ( talk) 16:04, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
Does the Winter Garden Theatre have a place for the orchestra? Is an orchestra typically used for the musicals? Or is only the singing live, and the rest recorded?
If anybody knows the answers to these questions, please add them to the article. -- 79.178.9.187 ( talk) 21:30, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
The photo depicting the line of chorus girls comes from page 74 of Photo-Play Magazine (April, 1923). From the caption, however, it is not entirely clear whether the photo depicts The Greenwich Village Follies or The Ziegfeld Follies. In the article, there are also photos attributed to the more popular Ziegfeld Follies. In fact, the abbreviation of "Follies," present in the caption, usually referred to Ziegfeld's brand. — Preceding unsigned comment added by August mergelman ( talk • contribs) 18:59, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
