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.

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. 6 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.

  • Patrick Page (who plays the Goblin) ad-libbed a warning to Reeve Carney (who stars as Spider-Man), who had been awkwardly marking time by pretending to drink Champagne.ebooks/Berger, Glen/Song of Spider-Man_ The Inside Story of the Most Controversial Musical in Broadway History - Glen Berger.txt
  • The show continued, with the first act lurching from impressive moments to more showstopping delays. Finally, we reached the last scene of the act. Patrick Page appeared at the piano, singing “I’ll Take Manhattan.” He made up some more lyrics while members of the crew untangled cables onstage.ebooks/Berger, Glen/Song of Spider-Man_ The Inside Story of the Most Controversial Musical in Broadway History - Glen Berger.txt
  • After several actors—with deference—offered their two cents, Patrick Page said he had an “intuitive sense that this character who has inspired awe is now somehow in Act Two becoming . . . trivialized. ”ebooks/Berger, Glen/Song of Spider-Man_ The Inside Story of the Most Controversial Musical in Broadway History - Glen Berger.txt
  • After more actors unloaded on Michael Cohl, Julie, and Danny, or expressed words of grief or love, Patrick Page stood up and reminded everyone that the previous day was the winter solstice. The darkest day of the year. And in a rare conjunction, last night, during the show? The moon was erased by a total lunar eclipse.ebooks/Berger, Glen/Song of Spider-Man_ The Inside Story of the Most Controversial Musical in Broadway History - Glen Berger.txt
  • Patrick Page played Lumiere in Beauty and the Beast on Broadway. He had two butane tanks strapped to his back, hoses running down his arm, a stun gun to ignite the gas, and two-foot flames flaring out from him. “And things happen,” Patrick shrugged to the press. “There were so many times I hit myself with that stun gun and shocked myself.…ebooks/Berger, Glen/Song of Spider-Man_ The Inside Story of the Most Controversial Musical in Broadway History - Glen Berger.txt
  • Patrick Page (who had seen his part expand more than any other) summed up the consensus of the actors afterward: “It’s clearer, funnier, and shorter .” Ken Marks (Uncle Ben), after first taking time to sing the praises of Julie’s vision, admitted that the original script and directing style were something of a straitjacket, with the skill…ebooks/Berger, Glen/Song of Spider-Man_ The Inside Story of the Most Controversial Musical in Broadway History - Glen Berger.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.
