I did some rewriting of the information you added about the Ballet Ireland production, and removed some material that I could not find referenced support for, such as that the music was by Arvo Part. If you have a citation to support this, please feel free to add the deleted information back into the article. Ed Fitzgerald t / c 04:30, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
I saw Ballet Ireland's version and I have the program which says the music is by Arvo Part. Here is a link to a review that I wrote of the evening, the day after the performance. http://www.ballet.co.uk/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=5321&forum=happening
- If you can find a citation which supports that, then there's no problem -- except that, if only some of the choreography was Helpmann's and the music wasn't Easdale's, it can hardly be said to be a stage version of the film's ballet. Ed Fitzgerald t / c 05:11, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

I would like to ask you a favour off-wiki. Is there any way to do that please? Kittybrewster ☎ 19:49, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
List of shipwrecks of Australia edit
Hi TrogWoolley, Thanks for updating the content on List of shipwrecks of Australia re the Santiago (1856 ship). Where did you get the latitude & longitude for the Santiago wreck site? These vary from those published on the official Australian Government source, i.e. Australian National Shipwreck Database. Cowdy001 (talk) 21:16, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
- Hi TrogWoolley, thanks for posting the reply on my talk page. While I do not consider myself to the custodian of List of shipwrecks of Australia (i.e. I am only interested in SA shipwrecks), I have updated the page to include the coordinates for the Santiago (1856 ship). Best Regards. Cowdy001 (talk) 17:03, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Stool with ladies legs edit
I saw the The Australian Ballet's version of Cinderella yesterday, and the set draws heavily on Dada and Surrealist Art. For example Salvador Dalí's Mae West Lips Sofa and Man Ray's Object to Be Destroyed both feature. There is also a low square stool, with four ladies legs forming the legs of the stool. The legs are bent at the knee and there is one in each corner. The legs are white and have red shoes on. I remember seeing one years ago and I think it might be a famous item. Does anybody recognise it from my description? I can't find it on Google, but it's not the easiest of things to search for. Thanks! --TrogWoolley (talk) 18:20, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
- Is this it: Folies Bergere Boudoir Stool ? (Close, but not exactly your description, however) 2606:A000:4C0C:E200:98E7:59EE:3480:3C03 (talk) 18:58, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
- I remember English comedy-magician Tommy Cooper had a table, where the legs fell off, and he released two legs like that.
- From some searching, it seems they've been around since the 1950s (according to this).
- Youtube has various videos of them (example), and other magicians using similar setups . 86.20.193.222 (talk) 05:37, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
- Cooper's 'Jack Hughes Comedy Legs Table' does not fit OP's description, however. --2606:A000:4C0C:E200:58E2:3708:C2A3:B874 (talk) 17:55, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
- Hello TrogWooley. This thread that you started at the RD/Entertainment will get archived in the next couple days. I thought that the question and the answers were interesting. Since you haven't edited since posting the question I wanted to make sure you had a chance to see what other editors have found as they investigated this. Now I know that just because you haven't edited doesn't mean that you didn't see this but I wanted to make sure just in case. Please feel free to remove this if you wish. Cheers.
