5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 13:58, 4 March 2022 (UTC).

Substantial expansion, on 37 (!) sources, subscription sources accepted AGF. I prefer ALT3, but would like to add "landmark", and/or that Simon's plays were performed there. What a playlist! On it's way to GA, I believe. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:19, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

Forgot: The image is licensed, and a fine illustration, - well deserved to have this beauty pictured. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:21, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: Thanks for the review, I really appreciate it. I have suggested some alts under ALT3. Epicgenius (talk) 20:47, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for thinking long, all acceptable, - my preference is ALT3a. I don't like the author's name twice in ALT3b, am not happy with "landmarked", and am no friend of talking about the first name when the article name is the second, but that may be just me, so no strike ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:36, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
