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 literature3 passages

  • Director Jack Sydow wisely had Merman and Yarnell hug affectionately rather than kiss lustily. (In one of musical theater’s most tragic ironies, in 1973, the thirty-seven-year-old Yarnell died in a plane crash, eleven full years before Merman passed away anywhere between age seventy-two and seventy-eight.)ebooks/Filichia, Peter/B007L4OWCU EBOK - Peter Filichia.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.
