Chic Johnson

On stage 2 productions, 6 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 once3 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. 2 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 on1 work

Pardon Our French

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.

• Ole Olsen and Chic Johnson hit the jackpot with Hellzapoppin’ (1938). Their rough and rowdy brand of humor went over well with audiences (if not the critics), and the revue ran for 1,404 performances (for a time it was the longest-running musical in Broadway history).

• Pardon Our Antenna was Ole Olsen and Chic Johnson’s alleged salute to television, but the lampoon never got beyond its Chicago tryout.

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 — lyricist — 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.
