... that New Zealand opera singer Helen Medlyn's first performing role was as one of the Three Kings? Source: "Helen and Wade both took their first theatrical steps at the school. ... "We had a nativity play and, like a typical diva in training, I wanted to be Mary because she was the mother of Jesus," Helen says. "I had to be one of the kings instead and I was heartily disgusted."" [1]
Comment: Struggling a bit with the hook wording for this one, grateful for any thoughts or any other suggestions. Wondered about trying to do something around her hell-themed cabaret shows.
Overall: Article is new enough and long enough, well cited, with "unlikely" plagarism predicted by Earwig. I think the hook is OK too. Ping me if you come up with a "hell-themed" one that you'd like reviewing though! Lajmmoore (talk) 10:40, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
