Mary Louise Wilson

On stage 18 productions, 52 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 once6 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.

• The cast's versatility is exceptional. R. G. Brown, at his best as a hilarious NewYork cab driver, Mary Louise Wilson and, as the hero, Patrick Fox, are all not merely accomplished but thoroughly likable.

• So in the second act, we saw what they’d become. Big Edie (Mary Louise Wilson), seventy-eight, stayed in bed most of the day, surrounded by her daughter, cats, and raccoons. Little Edie (Ebersole), suddenly fifty-eight, attended to and fought with her mother. The highlight of every day was when a neighborhood teen came by.

• Mendes changed all this. Despite a sexless but warm Fräulein Schneider by Mary Louise Wilson (light rather than sourly wry) and a paint-by-numbers Cliff from John Benjamin Hickey (a performance that was explicitly bisexual in tone yet without any cutting edge), Mendes’s cabaret site was not simply a place of escape from the reality of the…ebooks/Garebian, Keith/Making of Cabaret, The - Keith Garebian.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.
