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.

  • Andrew Lloyd Webber (1948- ) and Tim Rice (1944- )’s musical Evita , based on the life of Argentine first lady Eva Perón , has never been professionally staged in Buenos Aires. However, contrary to some claims, it is not banned. It seems more likely that the people of Argentina prefer their own versions of their history.

  • Oliver! inspired a rash of imitators – Pickwick , Scrooge , even Andrew Lloyd Webber ’s early work – but Bart was determined not to repeat himself. His theme song for From Russia With Love , for instance, sounds nothing like anything in Oliver! Although Oliver! is perhaps the only Bart musical to withstand the test of time, Blitz !

Therefore, the two shows I’m going to examine here were not commercial successes, but were nevertheless highly regarded.

  • When people in the English speaking world think of musical theatre in Argentina, they probably will mention Evita , unaware that the Andrew Lloyd Webber – Tim Rice tuner has never been professionally staged there.

What this page does not know

  • What this person played. No cast list we hold records a character against a performer.
  • Any staging. This name appears in no production cast list we hold — 1,877 of 7,139 people are in that position, most of them writers, composers and designers rather than performers.
  • Which of the credits above the roles on this record — composer, book writer — 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.
