Each row is a staging this name appears in the cast list of, read from the production record rather than from the person record.

• Although Ray Middleton was still capable of reprising Frank Butler, the role eventually went to Bruce Yarnell, a virile, good-looking actor with a terrific singing voice.

What this page does not know
