- Modern dance figure Bill T. Jones (choreographing on Broadway for the first time) brought a contemporary feeling that was jolting to the material, notably when the schoolboys were jumping up and down on their desks.ebooks/Green, Stanley/Broadway Musicals, Show By Show - Seventh Edition - Stanley Green & Cary Ginell.txt

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 — book writer, 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.
