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

Bernard Granville 4 productions
Justine Johnstone 3 productions
Ina Claire 3 productions
Gladys Loftus 3 productions
Fanny Brice 3 productions
Ann Pennington 3 productions
Will West 2 productions
W. C. Fields 2 productions
Melville Stewart 2 productions
May Paul 2 productions
Maxine Darrell 2 productions
Mae Murray 2 productions

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

Gay Divorce
Knickerbocker Holiday
Stars in Your Eyes

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.

  • Finally, he joined with expatriate American director Carl Randall and managed to snatch the “resting” cast of the recently closed Annie Get Your Gun from under the Williamson’s noses. He booked the King’s Theatre in Melbourne, controlled by the Fullers’ group, JCW’s competitors, where it received a warm reception.

What this page does not know

  • What this person played. No cast list we hold records a character against a performer.
  • Any biography.
  • 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 — choreographer, 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.
