Martin Charnin

On stage 3 productions, 3 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. 11 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.

Annie
Café Crown
I Remember Mama
Two By Two

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.

• For the final show, Martin Charnin invited the producers, managers, designers, and every actor who had ever appeared in Annie across the country to attend, so he could bring them onstage one more time. It was very emotional—children were crying, adults were crying. There were about two hundred people when he was done.

• One person who always had faith in me was Martin Charnin, the creator and director of Annie . He had written the lyrics for a new musical based on the book and movie I Remember Mama . Martin asked me to train a cat for this show. Still feeling somewhat doubtful about my credentials and my expertise, I turned him down.

• In the spring of 1996 I adopted a dog from a shelter in Rhode Island. His name was Zappa, after Frank Zappa, the rock star. He was the largest Sandy dog we had ever had—most dogs we used were around 60 pounds, but Zappa was over 80 pounds. Martin Charnin had always wanted an Irish wolfhound–sized dog, but that would have been impractical.…ebooks/Berloni, Bill/Broadway Tails_ Heartfelt Stories of Rescued Dogs Who Became Showbiz Superstars - Bill Berloni & Jim Hanrahan.txt
• I remember babbling my thanks. My hands were shaking as I called my wife, who cried, and then my mother.

• First of all, your questions about the show 67 could not have arrived at a more opportune time. Ten minutes ago, the phone rang – it was Martin Charnin, informing me that Stephanie Augustine suddenly had to go on for Carol [Lawrence].

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 — lyricist, director, 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.
