This article is within the scope of WikiProject Middle-earth, which aims to build an encyclopedic guide to J. R. R. Tolkien, his legendarium, and related topics.

Note: Though it states in the Guide to writing better articles that generally fictional articles should be written in present tense, all Tolkien legendarium-related articles that cover in-universe material before the current action must be written in past tense. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Middle-earth/Standards for more information about this and other article standards.
I'm sorry but i don't have time to write this page, and some of the info i found was contradictory, so i will just let someone else do it. Here are two links. FlowerSniffer 15:25, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, there is a lot of contradictory information! -- Ssilvers 03:52, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Nothing contradictory at all. Two versions of the musical. One in Toronto, Canada (the first one). After that closed down, the production was moved to London, where it is currently playing. Carcharoth 00:07, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Could you tell me if this was appropriate to go ahead with? Or if not, why? Thank You, John A25130177 (talk) 14:00, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think the issue here (why your edit was removed) is that it comes dangerously close to being an advert/directory listing for the show (Wikipedia is not a directory). Certainly your reference is not a good one - the official site should be quoted for this info. In fact, there is already a link to the official site where all this information can be found for those who really want it... Hope that makes some sense - feel free to ask if not! -- Dafyd (talk) 18:00, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The last picture at Dwarf_(Middle-earth)#Adaptations a woman is shown playing the part of Gimli (without a beard). Does the musical generally take such liberties with the books? Is this mean to be funny or ironic somehow? Banaticus (talk) 09:36, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm afraid I don't know about the Cincinnati productions! There's two completely unrelated musicals. The Kevin Wallace production, that played in Toronto and London, was more accurate to how most people visualise the characters, having a huge budget helps.

Would it be worth including a section detailing how the story was condensed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.150.110.2 (talk) 20:57, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This article is incorrectly named in two ways . Firstly, it is decidedly not considered a musical; there is talk about this in the article itself. Secondly, the name is The Lord of the Rings, not Lord of the Rings. Therefore, I propose the article be moved to "The Lord of the Rings (play)." There doesn't seem to me any reason why this wouldn't be the best name. Wolfdog (talk) 15:27, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
OK, fair enough. I think that we should then mention some of these sources in the introduction to the article, as they seem to confuse the information that's already there. Perhaps the article should state that regardless of what the composers have mentioned, many still consider the theatrical work a musical. Wolfdog (talk) 22:10, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The synopsis in this article was identical or nearly identical to that in the show's soundtrack CD booklet, and must have constituted a copyright violation. I have therefore replaced it with "Empty section" templates. Gildir (talk) 21:57, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I have also added the "Original research" template to the "Lyrics" section. It doesn't seem likely that this information can be independently sourced (even though all or most of it is accurate). Gildir (talk) 22:20, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
