Music list

Is it necessary to list out the entire song list of the show here? It is basically a copy-paste of content on the musical's article. Would a link to the other suffice? BOVINEBOY2008 13:50, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Reception

I've been reading Siddhant Adlakha 's long review on Polygon, so when I came here to find out about other critics' reactions, I was really surprised to see the high ratings. Should Adlakha's nuanced and often negative take be cited? Kdammers (talk) 12:57, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think it would go against WP:PROPORTION because the vast majority of reviews are positive. Metacritic shows that 38 out of 38 reviews are positive. So a negative review would be undue weight. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 13:22, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Production

I don't know if or how it's citable here, but in this interview, Lin gives very specific timelines of how the film was recorded and he states that only two live shows were recorded, a Sunday Matinee, closeups and steadicam work on Sunday night, then close up, steadicam, cranes and reverse shots all day Monday and Tuesday morning followed by a live show Tuesday Night. This is inconsistent with articles where they say they filmed 3 live shows (plus the extra footage without audience) TheHYPO (talk) 22:44, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @TheHYPO, sorry, but YouTube is not a citable source (see WP:RS and WP:UGC for more information). If you can find a reputable interview or another usable source, feel free to add it to the article! xRENEGADEx ^{(talk | contribs)} 23:18, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That's why I didn't make the change myself. Still, I find it absolutely ridiculous that an interview where you can clearly see that LMM is giving first-person information is not "reputable". Silly. I thought I'd note it here for anyone reading the talk page though. TheHYPO (talk) 06:22, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
