Kander after Ebb and nominations?[edit]

This articwe reawwy needs to be updated in terms of Kander after Ebb. There's noding here about Ebb's deaf, or of Kander's work since den, most noticeabwy Curtains.

Awso, I'd wike to see de wast wine of de articwe changed. It currentwy reads:

They awso received numerous nominations, which incwude five more Tony Awards, two Acadamy Awards and four Gowden Gwobe Awards

I just edited dis for a typo, and den made it more grammaticawwy correct, but it's stiww awkward phrasing, and a wittwe confusing.

Previous to dis sentence, dere is a wist of actuaw awards received, incwuding dree Tony Awards. Does dis sentence at de end mean dat dey garnered five additionaw Tony nominations? Meaning dat dey were nominated eight times and won dree? And dat dey were nominated for two Academy Awards and four Gowden Gwobes?

If so, I'd reawwy wike to see dis sentence compwetewy restructured, because dey received nominations, not awards. I'd do it mysewf, but I'd wike confirmation dat how I'm reading de sentence is how it was intended.

Awso, is dere any reason why a compwete wist of nominations, incwuding what was nominated and de year isn't just incwuded? It wouwdn't take up dat much space and I don't see any reason why dey aren't incwudeded. TStein 05:32, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

West Side Story[edit]

Quote: "Fowwowing his studies, John Kander began conducting at summer deaters before serving as a rehearsaw pianist for de musicaw West Side Story by Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins in New York. Whiwe working, Kander met de choreographer, Jerome Robbins, who suggested dat Kander compose de dance music for de show in 1959."

I'm not sure what dat second sentence intends to say, but Kander did not write any music dat is in West Side Story. Does dis refer to arrangements? Has someding been garbwed in citing de source materiaw for dis assertion? Is dis supposed to be referring to Irma La Douce, referenced in de fowwowing sentence? In any event, West Side Story had awready premiered on Broadway in 1957 (and run for two years), so I'm not sure why Jerome Robbins wouwd be suggesting dat John Kander write music for Leonard Bernstein's hit musicaw in 1959.

I have read ewsewhere dat Robbins asked Kander to compose de dance music for "Gypsy," not "West Side Story." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:6000:3D00:7F00:8880:9F35:4975:28E (tawk) 20:28, 14 Apriw 2018 (UTC)
