Title should include an exclamation point "!"[edit]
I recognize that it is difficult to know exactly what authors intended 100 years ago, but most of the primary sources I've seen list the musical's title as Lady, Be Good! (with an exclamation point). I believe the article should be retitled, and the disambiguator "(musical)" is not needed. Here are three early documents that likely had the creators' approval.
- Sheet music contemporaneous with 1924 Broadway production
- Poster for the 1925 post-Broadway tour
- Program for the 1926 London production
For musicals of this era, I usually regard the original sheet music as the most reliable readily available source. --Joseph Hewes (talk) 00:19, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
