Previously nominated for PROD by Boneymau with the reasoning No independent sources for the article. In any case, too soon, as just seems to be a non-professional reading.. Blocked by an IP editor with the assertion that BroadwayWorld is a credible news site that counts as an independent source. Articles referenced are credited to the BroadwayWorld News Desk. Presumably nobody involved also works for BroadwayWorld. However, BroadwayWorld largely republishes press releases, as noted at this RSN discussion, and this article's sourcing appears to be no exception, as the BroadwayWorld reporting is just WP:ROUTINE coverage of an announced public reading. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 21:36, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

• Delete No significant coverage in independent reliable sources. As noted, Broadwayworld republishing media releases is not a reliable source. Boneymau (talk) 10:41, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
• Delete as per nom. Rosguill's description of Broadway World is spot on. At best this is a case of WP:TOOSOON. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 15:55, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
