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. 8 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.

- Anyhoo, I also loved Michael Berresse's amazing dancing and Beth Leavel's hilarity in Nanette . Plus, she is the queen of hitting a high note and making you think, "Wow… she can't belt that, but it sounds amazing in head voice… good choice!" and then, one minute later, belting that same note and then belting one even higher just to show y…ebooks/Rudetsky, Seth/Seth's Broadway Diary, Volume 1_ Part 2 - Seth Rudetsky.txt
- At the Chatterbox , I interviewed Tony Award winner Beth Leavel. The first shocker she laid on me is that she's from North Carolina! I asked her if there was a "Lynn" involved with her name, and she admitted her full name is Elizabeth Lynn Leavel, and when she'd hear all three names from her mother, it meant she was in severe trouble.

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.
