Each row is a staging this name appears in the cast list of, read from the production record rather than from the person record. The person record names works instead, and a work cannot say which run somebody was in — that is how Elaine Stritch ends up filed under Show Boat 1927 when she was in the 1994 revival. No row here says what part was played, because no cast list records it.

Both names in the same cast list, more than once. It is not evidence of a partnership — a long-running company puts the same forty people together every night — but it is where one would start looking. 6 of these names are not links because we hold no record behind them; the name is set from the identifier and its punctuation may be wrong.

Chicago (1996 Revival)

These come off the person record, which names a work and not a production. So we can say this name is attached to the work and we cannot say which staging, or in what capacity. For a composer or a writer that is the whole career we hold; there is no cast list to find them in.

  • A couple of days later, Adam Pascal and I were gathered around the piano with Tim and Michael, cleaning up the harmonies in “What You Own,” when I noticed some commotion at the back of the theatre. I saw Michael notice it as well, but he didn’t stop us, so, unsure of what was happening, Adam and I continued singing.ebooks/Rapp, Anthony/Without You_ A Memoir of Love, Loss, and the Musical Rent - Anthony Rapp.txt
  • I saw Rent this week and Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp were great. Typical me, I spent a chunk of the show obsessing over the fact that Anthony is in full winter gear for most of the show. Did he have a fit during tech rehearsals? "Hello! I'm performing on a stage under 1,000 lights! Why are you making me wear a scarf?

  • Adam Pascal's voice is so amazing as per usual. It always has that signature rasp, but then he'll shockingly go up to a crazy high note with no effort. He played Freddie in the Actors Fund concert of Chess I put together, and quite frankly, my face was more strained while I was conducting than his was while hitting high Cs.ebooks/Rudetsky, Seth/Seth's Broadway Diary, Volume 1_ Part 1 - Seth Rudetsky.txt
  • I got to interview Adam Pascal on Sirius this week. I asked him about what Broadway shows he saw growing up, and he told me that he saw Les Miz but didn't remember much of it… because he was such a little kid. He was mortified when I told him that it opened on Broadway in 1986 when he was a teenager. Hmm… maybe he saw the original French…ebooks/Rudetsky, Seth/Seth's Broadway Diary, Volume 1_ Part 1 - Seth Rudetsky.txt

What this page does not know

  • What this person played. No cast list we hold records a character against a performer.
  • Which of the credits above the roles on this record — actor — apply to. The roles sit on the person and never on a credit, so a director who also acted looks the same here as one who did not.
