George White

On stage 11 productions, 20 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. 6 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.

George White’s Scandals
Flying High

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.

• For the revue, George White Scandals of 1922 , Gershwin created an unusual work that revealed an interest in opera parallel to his interest in instrumental music, a work that similarly combined the cultivated European tradition with the American vernacular.

• And yet Ann Miller did have a couple of Broadway appearances on her résumé. In George White Scandals of 1939, she participated in one duet in act 1 and tap-danced in act 2. When Miller left the show after a few months, no effort was made to replace her; both the duet and dance were dropped, implying that no one could follow her.ebooks/Filichia, Peter/B007L4OWCU EBOK - Peter Filichia.txt

• Of all the revues that enjoyed more than one annual edition, the George White’s Scandals series was the nearest to the Ziegfeld Follies in fame and longevity. Beginning in 1919, George White, who had danced in two Follies, turned out 13 editions in 21 years. His series was faster paced, more youthful, less ornately mounted than their mode…ebooks/Green, Stanley/Broadway Musicals, Show By Show - Seventh Edition - Stanley Green & Cary Ginell.txt
• A major rival to the Ziegfeld Follies and the George White’s Scandals series was the Earl Carroll Vanities, which Carroll introduced in 1923.

What this page does not know

• What this person played. No cast list we hold records a character against a performer.
• Birth or death year. Neither is on the record.
• 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, 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.
