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. 4 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.

  • While we were teching, I was still doing other stuff in my "free" time. I did my Sirius radio show every day and had Andréa Burns (who just finished recording her first CD, A Deeper Shade of Red ) come in and co-host with me.

  • Anyhoo, right after the benefit, I hightailed it to see Andréa Burns' CD release show. Her new CD A Deeper Shade of Red just came out, and it's fabulous! And her act was amazing!

What this page does not know

  • What this person played. No cast list we hold records a character against a performer.
  • Any portrait. 1,626 of 7,139 people have one, so this is the usual case rather than the exception.
  • 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.
