Dolores Gray

On stage 9 productions, 36 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.

• Dolores Gray participated in the sketches and sang a number of songs, her best being the classic rapid-fire patter of “If You Hadn’t, But You Did” in which, like the later “Cell Block Tango” from Chicago (1975), she explained just exactly why her hubby had it coming (if he’d only bought her a ticket to South Pacif ).

What this page does not know

• What this person played. No cast list we hold records a character against a performer.
