Susan Stroman

On stage 1 production

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.

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 thought to myself, This will never happen. I explained that Dalmatians were very high-strung dogs and that I didn’t have one currently, so I would have to start from scratch. The cost would be thousands of dollars. I was certain that would end her interest, but I asked why she wanted the dog.

• Such a hit usually makes everyone involved very happy. Perhaps director Mike Ockrent and Susan Stroman were just kidding around two years later when they said they could see Horchow taking over as Everett when Carleton (“Aba-Daba Honeymoon”) Carpenter went on vacation.

• Not Susan Stroman. When she was growing up in Wilmington, Delaware, she was figuring out dances as much as she was doing them. And while an occasional extraordinary high schooler is given the chance to choreograph the school musical, Stroman even talked her way in choreographing halftime shows at the school’s football games.ebooks/Filichia, Peter/B007L4OWCU EBOK - Peter Filichia.txt
• Then came two Broadway flops—Big in 1996, Steel Pier in 1997. You know Broadway wags: Has Susan Stroman lost her touch? Had we overestimated her? Did we make her believe she was invincible when she wasn’t? Had it all gone to her head too soon?ebooks/Filichia, Peter/B007L4OWCU EBOK - Peter Filichia.txt
• “That was Susan’s suggestion,” says Brooks, referring to Susan Stroman, the choreographer Brooks had hired when he’d chosen her husband, Mike Ockrent, to direct. But after Ockrent died in 1999—and Stroman got four Tony nominations later that season for directing and choreographing Contact and The Music Man —Brooks allowed Stroman to stage…ebooks/Filichia, Peter/B007L4OWCU EBOK - Peter Filichia.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 — choreographer, director, 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.
