Article meets DYK requirements, no close paraphrasing was found, and the hook is cited inline and verified. This is just a suggestion, but a possible alternate hook could be mentioning how, according to the NYT source, the water damage may have been used to the production's advantage since now the set looked "battered". Just waiting for the QPQ to be completed. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:43, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
- QPQ done! I agree that the possibility of the set looking how it did because of the water damage definitely makes for an interesting hook as well but I can find no further sources besides the NYT reviewer's speculation that the set was supposed to look different before the water damage so I think I'm more comfortable keeping it as is if that's okay with you? Thanks for the review, Narutolovehinata5! —Collint c 00:03, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
- The decision is up to you; if you want to use that for a hook, you could attribute it to the New York Times to make it more accurate. But if that doesn't work out, the original hook is still good and can still be used. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:42, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
- Sure, here's an ALT1: ... that after water damage postponed the sci-fi musical Rags Parkland Sings the Songs of the Future, a critic speculated that the damage was incorporated into the show's set design? —Collint c 17:38, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
- That sounds good.
ALT1 is cited inline and verified and should be good to go. ALT1 is the best hook here, but if it doesn't work out for reasons, ALT0 is an acceptable alternative. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 03:00, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
