Lindsay Crouse edit

Maybe a stupid question, but is this actress's name related to those folks ? 82.230.180.185 17:31, 12 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Yes. As the article notes, she's Russel Crouse's daughter and her full name—Lindsay Ann Crouse—is an intentional tribute to "Lindsay and Crouse." Dpbsmith (talk) 23:29, 12 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. I should have read the article, mind. 82.230.180.185 11:40, 13 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Book vs libretto edit

Replaced the term libretto with book. The former is more associated with grand opera and includes the lyrics (as in grand opera everything is sung including the dialog ("recitative") there is less of a distinction. The term book is always used in regard to Broadway musicals, the three distinct writing credits being book, music and lyrics, and are listed in that manner in published books, scores, programs, and posters.
