Nevermind. Somehow I missed the brief mention of this here. Carry on. :D woo
Great American Mousical
Hi. I'm Wikipedia admin, mostly inactive these days. I'm also an actor IRL, and I just finished performing in The Great American Mousical at Legacy Theatre in Branford, CT, directed by Julie Andrews. This was the second full production of this play, based on the book of the same title she wrote with her daughter Emma Walton Hamilton. Julie also directed the first production of this play at Goodspeed Musicals' Norma Terris Theatre in 2012.
I think this play (both productions) is worth a mention in this article, but since I have an obvious COI I won't add it myself. (Someone else can add Template:Tl to this page.)
I suggest the following wording, to be placed towards the end of the "2000-present" section of the article:
- Andrews has twice directed a musical stage adaptation of The Great American Mousical, based on the 2006 children's book she wrote with her daughter Emma Walton Hamilton. The musical was written by Zina Goldrich (music) and Marcy Heisler (lyrics), with book by Hunter Bell.[1][2] Andrews first directed the play for its premiere in 2012 at Goodspeed Musicals' Norma Terris Theatre in Chester, Connecticut.[1] In 2024, she directed a second, sold-out production at Legacy Theatre in Branford, Connecticut.[2]
If someone else thinks this is suitable and appropriately worded, please add it to the article. Thank you. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 17:30, 9 August 2024 (UTC) Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 17:30, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

- Add a paragraph on "The Great American Mousical":
As explained in the section above, I'm a sometime Wikipedian, and also an actor IRL. Last month I performed in a production of The Great American Mousical, directed by Julie Andrews. Hence my COI.
I suggest the following text be added in the "2000–present" section of the article:
- Andrews has twice directed a musical stage adaptation of The Great American Mousical, based on the 2006 children's book she wrote with her daughter Emma Walton Hamilton. The musical was written by Zina Goldrich (music) and Marcy Heisler (lyrics), with book by Hunter Bell.[1][2] Andrews first directed the play for its premiere in 2012 at Goodspeed Musicals' Norma Terris Theatre in Chester, Connecticut.[1] In 2024, she directed a second, sold-out production at Legacy Theatre in Branford, Connecticut.[2]
- Why it should be changed:
Andrews has rarely directed, and I think it's noteworthy that she has directed two productions of this play, late in her career. Both productions were covered and reviewed in noteworthy, independent sources (more of which can be provided upon request, if needed).
(I made this request a bit more than a week ago, without the template, but it seems nobody saw it.)

Lead image
Template:Gallery layout These are the images that have recently alternated in the infobox. After the first one was changed to the one in the middle, I preferred a higher quality picture with a more identifiable Andrews from the same period, but this was reverted so I changed it back to the 2013 portrait. @Art Hansel: I’m not aware there are any guidelines on short text that doesn’t cover the face within a lead image. Could you please elaborate on that? ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 09:38, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
