Jack Murphy

On stage 1 production

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.

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.

That show was later produced on stages throughout Europe, Japan, and Korea, under the title, Rudolf, Affaire Mayerling . As with Jekyll , I’m no longer involved in Rudolf’s day-to-day creative life, but I retain a credit on the show of “Con…ebooks/Cuden, Steve/Beating Broadway_ How to Create Stories for Musicals That Get Standing Ovations - Steve Cuden.txt

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 — lyricist, book writer — 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.
