Judy Kaye

On stage 13 productions, 49 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 once12 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. 4 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.

• In 1973, Judy Kaye, live and direct from Phoenix, landed her first Broadway job as a replacement Betty Rizzo in Grease. “That allowed me got up enough money to attend that Sondheim benefit they had at the Shubert that March,” she recalls. “At one point, I was standing on the stairs and saw Stephen Sondheim, Hal Prince, Betty Comden and Ad…ebooks/Filichia, Peter/B007L4OWCU EBOK - Peter Filichia.txt
• It came from Kahn’s understudy Judy Kaye. While she didn’t anticipate ever going on, Kaye, like the best understudies, prepared for the part just in case. “I’d practice the songs in my dressing room or backstage, and some people would say, ‘Will you go into the wings and let Madeline see what you’re doing so she can do it, too?’ And I sai…ebooks/Filichia, Peter/Strippers, Showgirls, and Sharks - 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 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 — 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.
