I'll give this a review within the next couple days. Wizardman 12:36, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Here are the issues I found:

"Taylor was born Ronald James Taylor on October 16, 1952" It can just say "Ronald James Taylor was born on.."; cleaner that way
- Done
"He attended Wharton College and later O'Connell High School,[5]" He attended college before high school? I'm confused here (the wharton college link didn't help so maybe adding something there would fix this).
- Fixed (I'm assuming this was a combination of misreading the source, forgetting college meant a different thing in America)
"the history of blues music, from" no comma needed
- Done
"cornucopia of splendidly interpreted song," is that meant to say songs or is that the actual quote?
- That's the quote
""build a long-lasting audience like the Tonys could", leading to dwindling attendance." cite needed for quote.
- Done
"the year,It" space after comma.
- Done
Ref #11 (Drama Desk Awards) isn't working for me. Site's up so a new link may need to be found.
- Fixed

Not too much to fix, I'll put the article on hold. Wizardman 16:43, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Haha, I'd forgotten about this, it's been months! I should probably help out with reviews. Anyway, all fixed (I think), thanks very much! Gran² 17:39, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Everything checks out now, so I'll pass the article. Wizardman 22:09, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure the word original should be used, nor the possessive case, as Little shop of Horrors is an adaptation of a 1960 B-movie. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:B270:20F0:25B9:8F06:F840:D5D5 (talk) 07:31, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
