39 of these 210 names have a person record behind them and link to one. The other 171 are set from the identifier in the cast list, which is a slug of the name — so hyphens and full stops are lost and a few come out wrong. We hold nothing else about them. Nobody here is matched to a character: the cast list records who was in the company and not what they played.
Creative team
- Director
- Trevor Nunn
- Choreographer
- Gillian Lynne
- Producer
- Cameron Mackintosh, Really Useful Co., Ltd., David Geffen
A producer is one string on this record, however many people or companies it names. Directors and choreographers are held both as text and as identifiers; where an identifier exists the name links to a page.

Around this production
When Lloyd Webber first played "Memory" for director Trevor Nunn, Nunn pointed out it had no lyrics. He wrote the final version himself in a single evening.
