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.

  • Canadian-born choreographer Paddy Stone was the first of many Western artists brought over since the 1960s to try to raise their standards, which had declined from the pre-war period.

  • For her revue, Grenfell was supported by three singers and dancers (Beryl Kaye, Paddy Stone, and Irving Davies, all of whom had appeared with her in the London production). The evening alternated between Grenfell’s sketches and the trio’s songs and dances, and the four rarely shared stage time with one another.ebooks/Dietz, Dan/Complete Book of 1950s Broadway Musicals, The - Dan Dietz.txt

What this page does not know

  • What this person played. No cast list we hold records a character against a performer.
  • Any staging. This name appears in no production cast list we hold — 1,877 of 7,139 people are in that position, most of them writers, composers and designers rather than performers.
  • 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 — choreographer — 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.
