Matt Cavenaugh

On stage 4 productions, 6 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.

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.

• When I got home from wherever I was on the Friday of the week New York was on the newsstand, there were ominous messages from the press agent: the subject of Riedel’s column the next day was going to be Matt Cavenaugh.

• The producers had never been keen on Matt Cavenaugh; they had wanted him fired in Washington, but I had resisted. The show was coming up on playing a year—contract renewal time, and they didn’t want to renew his contract to play Tony. This time, I didn’t fight them.

• All this began as an item in a gossip column—Michael Riedel’s. His epitaph should be “Here Lies.” His lie about the firing of Matt Cavenaugh was only one in a long list.

That was a surprise, because Riedel’s compliments are reserved for his clients.ebooks/Laurents, Arthur/Rest of the Story_ A Life Completed, The - Arthur Laurents.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.
