Agnes de Mille

On stage 1 production

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.

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.

• Ran across Agnes de Mille last night, & she's really rooting for you & the ballet. Contract is signed, I've received initial payment. (I've been rooked out of all bounds, but I don't care.)ebooks/Bernstein, Leonard/Leonard Bernstein Letters, The - Leonard Bernstein.txt
• Agnes de Mille’s ‘Chase Ballet’ at the beginning of the second act of Brigadoon works on many different levels. For after an almost static first act anchored in the marketplace, the chase after the spurned suitor bent on destroying the village gives us some movement and opens up the entire musical.ebooks/Citron, Stephen/Musical From the Inside Out, The - Stephen Citron.txt
• 20 For two decades, from the early forties to the early sixties, beginning with Oklahoma!, classic ballet, as originated by Agnes de Mille, was intruded into the second act of almost every musical. It often slowed the action to a snail’s pace. Fortunately the vogue has passed.ebooks/Citron, Stephen/Musical From the Inside Out, The - Stephen Citron.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 — director, choreographer — 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.
