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.

In the literature8 passages

  • Director Frank Galati observed, "He moves with an extraordinary grace ... yet he is very centered, able to be very focused and still. His voice is resonant and warm in color and vcry rich, and when it lifts up into the atmosphere it has a brilliance and a steady burning intensity."ebooks/Viagas, Robert/I'm the Greatest Star_ Broadway's Top Musical Legends from 1900 to Today - Robert Viagas.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.
  • 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 — director — 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.
