Steve Lawrence

On stage 2 productions, 4 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.

• “Steve Lawrence wasn’t our first choice. Bobby Darin was,” says Ervin Drake, the show’s composer-lyricist. “He told us that he really wanted to do movies so he’d be recognized when he walked down the streets of Calcutta.”ebooks/Filichia, Peter/B007L4OWCU EBOK - Peter Filichia.txt
• So Steve Lawrence got the assignment–and quite a workload. He sang in virtually all the songs. The twenty-nine-year-old Lawrence started out as the sixteen-year-old Glick, who had to grow and age.

What this page does not know

• What this person played. No cast list we hold records a character against a performer.
