- More of a comment than a review, but while I do think the hook is marginally interesting, I imagine theater actors being offered roles in plays they'd never seen before is actually not uncommon. As such, I wonder if additional hook angles could be proposed here. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:07, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Narutolovehinata5: that's a reasonable point, though this was what I deemed to be the most interesting "factoid" in the article. And even if it really were the case (that this is "actually not uncommon"), how many times have such hooks appeared on DYK? It sure can't beat the river-related hooks of yesteryear 😆 KINGofLETTUCE 👑 🥬 14:15, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- Well, if no one else is going to....

Hook eligibility:

- Hook does not seem to be supported by source. Ong had not seen Les Mis before auditioning, but was told to go home and watch the film, audition again, and then she was offered the role. - Interesting:
| QPQ: Done. |
Overall: 
Needs a new hook. ~Darth StabroTalk • Contribs 20:54, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
- How about:
- ALT1 ... that Nathania Ong had not seen Les Misérables before auditioning for the role of Éponine? (will need to be reflected in the article)
- ALT2 ... that Singaporean theatre actress Nathania Ong's father was an acapella singer and a dentist? (might not meet WP:DYKHOOKSTYLE, but I'm not really seeing much else in the article that's usable)
- ALT3 ... that Nathania Ong led the singing of Singapore's national anthem during the closing ceremony of the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics?
- Not sure if any of these are usable, however. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 23:17, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
