Angela Lansbury

On stage 17 productions, 55 years

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.

Worked with more than once12 names

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. 3 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.

Also credited on3 works

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Gypsy (1974 Revival)
A Little Night Music (2009 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.

• Hosting the ceremony, which was televised on 7 April 1991, Angela Lansbury described Rocky Horror , with a delighted chuckle and a suitably naughty glint in her eye, as ‘A charming old-fashioned story.

• Gypsy has been revived frequently. Angela Lansbury did a Broadway production in 1974, and Tyne Daly won the Tony Award for her performance as Mama Rose in 1989.

• In the case of Sweeney Todd , Angela Lansbury in the role of Mrs. Lovett was an actor who could also sing, but other roles could profit from a singing actor who also possessed a trained voice.

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.
