    • Reviewed: This Is Ear Hustle
    • Comment: More hooks later. Two months ago I added a bunch of references but did not increase the prose size; however, the wikitext byte increase was substantial due to the size of the references. Per WP:DYKRULES, I am only counting prose in the expansion.

5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 23:02, 8 April 2022 (UTC).[reply]

  • The article has been expanded fivefolds, long enough, referenced, neutral and no copyvio obvious. The hooks are sourced and interesting. The image in the article is free. QPQ done. For notable section, I don't think IBDB is a reliable source, but most of productions have also have Playbill and/or something more reliable to back them up, with the exception of American Ballet Theatre in 1975, but there's probably a review in the New York Times or somewhere else. Will also wait for any other ALTs. (Coincidentally I just nominated an article about a ballet to Gershwin's songs) Corachow (talk) 00:48, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
