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.

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. 3 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 musical was revived by Encores! on February 5, 2009, for five performances; among the cast members were Kristin Chenoweth (Frieda) and Douglas Sills (Bruno).

  • With the Greyhound wheels thumping a trance, I close my eyes and nod off, imagining what it’ll be like in New York when I arrive. In my mind, Kristin Chenoweth will be waiting for us on a staircase at this Port Authority place, probably singing the theme to “New York, New York.” And then someone’ll hand out handguns and cans of Mace and t…ebooks/Federle, Tim/Better Nate Than Ever - Tim Federle.txt

  • Glinda (Kristin Chenoweth) had a bouncy first-act number, “Popular.” Elphaba (Idina Menzel) got a dynamic first-act closer, “Defying Gravity,” which became so entrenched in Broadway’s consciousness that even the creators of Shrek had their evil Lord Farquaad sing that no one “is ever gonna bring me down.”ebooks/Filichia, Peter/B007L4OWCU EBOK - Peter Filichia.txt
  • This was ameliorated, however, by the Good Witch’s entrance in a bubble, as Billie Burke had arrived in the film. Kristin Chenoweth looked to the bubble born as Galinda—not Glinda, as we’d known her all our lives.

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.
