Casey Nicholaw

On stage 7 productions, 10 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. 7 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 on11 works

The Book of Mormon
The Drowsy Chaperone
Something Rotten!
Mean Girls
Aladdin
The Prom
Some Like It Hot
Monty Python’s Spamalot
Spamalot
Elf
Tuck Everlasting

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.

• The score was a send-up of period musicals, and it was staged and choreographed by Casey Nicholaw. Wistfully droll Bob Martin was Man in Chair in its many incarnations, and for Broadway, Sutton Foster went against sweet-youngthing type and played an acrobatic show girl.

• She recalled auditioning for The Drowsy Chaperone , and afterwards, she spoke to the director, Casey Nicholaw, who said that she wasn't really right for the role.

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 — 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.
