Hans Conried

On stage 5 productions, 24 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.

• G wen Verdon had a mild shock when she arrived at the Shubert Theater in Philadelphia on the day of the take-in, March 16, 1953. There was a guy up on a ladder, holding a ruler, measuring the size of the name Hans Conried. He was comparing it to the size of the other stars, Lilo and Peter Cookson.

• Not that Hans Conried had to worry about credit.
