Jason Alexander

On stage 6 productions, 34 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 once1 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. 1 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.

The Producers

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.

• Robbins was well known as a difficult taskmaster. Said Jason Alexander, who’d emcee the evening, “It’s safe to say that anything you’ve ever heard about Jerome Robbins is true. At first I wondered why he doesn’t have an ulcer or a heart condition, but he gets out his volatile energy by exorcising his demons religiously, so there’s nothing…ebooks/Filichia, Peter/B007L4OWCU EBOK - Peter Filichia.txt

• It’s in San Francisco that we’ll begin rehearsals with Jason Alexander and Martin Short, who will step into the roles of Max and Leo for our LA run. And we’ve recently learned that Gary Beach, who originated the Roger De Bris role on Broadway (a performance for which he won a Tony Award) will also be joining us, as will a new Carmen Ghia,…ebooks/Kostroff, Michael/Letters From Backstage_ The Adventures of a Touring Stage Actor - Michael Kostroff.txt
• We’re approaching the “Changing of the Guard,” when Jason Alexander and Martin Short will take over for Lewis and Don. The two “names” will join us here in San Francisco for daytime rehearsals as we continue to perform the show at night with the current cast, and then the producers have decided to “sneak” them into the show, unannounced,…ebooks/Kostroff, Michael/Letters From Backstage_ The Adventures of a Touring Stage Actor - Michael Kostroff.txt
• The auditions felt epic. There were call-backs and more call-backs. I sang my audition song, “Singin’ in the Rain,” too many times to count. (Jason Alexander’s audition staple was “Feelin’ Good,” and Daisy’s standard was “Someone to Watch Over Me.”) I danced routine after routine, feeling grateful for Miss Rosenberg’s ballet classes at th…ebooks/Pogrebin, Abigail/Showstopper - Abigail Pogrebin.txt
• Jason Alexander was the other standout, the only Merrily cast member to later become officially famous. (He entered the pantheon of TV history as George Costanza on Seinfeld .) Jason exemplified what Hal and Steve were aiming for: a middle-aged man in a kid’s body. At the age of 21, Jason could be a credible 65, but also a conceivable 18.…ebooks/Pogrebin, Abigail/Showstopper - Abigail Pogrebin.txt

What this page does not know

• What this person played. No cast list we hold records a character against a performer.
• Which of the credits above the roles on this record — 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.
