Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Seussical, the big new musical “based on the works of Dr. Seuss,” received raves from hard-boiled.Broadway insiders invited to attend run-throughs of the developmental reading held in Toronto in August 1999. The tuneful, imaginative new musical was clearly destined to be a major hit. The only question was: Would it merely be a lucrative hit (like Beauty and the Beast) or a groundbreaking Broadway legend (like The Lion King)? Things went downhill from there. The idea of creating a musical peopled with characters created by the good Dr. originated with Garth Drabinsky, at that time still the chairman of what used to be Livent. The Seussical, as it was then called, was announced in April 1997 as a collaboration between songwriters Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens (ofLivent’s Ragtime) and playwright Ken Ludwig (of Crazy for You). By June 1998, Ludwig had been replaced by Eric Idle (of Monty Python).

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
