Nicholas Dante

On stage 2 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 once2 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. 2 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.

A Chorus Line (2006 Revival)

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.

• I believe that despite the wonderful, very clever way in which the authors, James Kirkwood, Jr., and Nicholas Dante, spread the love around among the entire cast, despite every character having his or her own shining moment, despite every character having a story that is well and fully told, Cassie is the one character with the most at st…ebooks/Cuden, Steve/Beating Broadway_ How to Create Stories for Musicals That Get Standing Ovations - Steve Cuden.txt
• When Bennett wasn’t 100 percent satisfied with Nicholas Dante as his bookwriter—the scenes between director Zach and his former girlfriend and former star dancer Cassie weren’t working to his satisfaction—he went out and got another.

• When he became involved with what would become A Chorus Line , Michael Bennett seemed open and acted friendly. Said Nicholas Dante, “He stressed that he was a hoofer, just one of the gang.” But though he complimented Peacock on her leadership ability, Bennett gradually took over her and Tony Stevens’s dance-themed project.

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 — book writer — 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.
