Hugh Lambert

On stage 5 productions, 4 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 once11 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.

How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying

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.

• During rehearsals I could make out this figure in the darkness of the audience. It was Hugh Lambert, the original choreographer. They didn’t think he was achieving what they wanted, so they replaced him with Bob Fosse. But they couldn’t fire Hugh because he was under contract, and he got full credit along with Bob Fosse, even though he on…ebooks/Frommer, Myrna Katz & Frommer, Harvey/It Happened on Broadway_ An Oral History of the Great White Way - Myrna Katz Frommer & Harvey Frommer.txt
• Hugh Lambert was a dear man and very encouraging to me when I was learning his choreography; but when Bob Fosse took over, I had the flu, and for his first few days my job was on the line.

• Even though he was no longer choreographing the show, Hugh Lambert came with us to Philadelphia, where we were to open at the Shubert Theatre in September.

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 — composer — 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.
