Interesting plot! Good sources, some accepted AGF. "Menage" is not an everyday word, and not in the article. (That may be just me.) "Musical take" is a bit harmless, and doesn't prepare for anything vocal. Ideas? How about "a leading woman" (or a better term) instead of giving her name away?

Happy. Be prepared to defend "vision", because that is also not a term used in the article. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:14, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
