12 of these 16 names have a person record behind them and link to one. The other 4 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.

Only 512 of 13,459 productions carry role names, and these came out of a wiki table — the names arrived with the table's own cell markup on them and have been stripped back. They are not linked to person records because the identifiers in that table do not resolve to ours.

Around this production
Falsettos is actually two one-act musicals combined: March of the Falsettos (1981) and Falsettoland (1990).
In 1992 the Golden hosted an unusual musical: Falsettos, an amalgam of William Finn's and James Lapine's two earlier Off-Broadway musicals, March ofthe At This Theatre 100 Years of Broadway Shows Stories and Botto Louis Viagas Rober, p. 264
- He took over the lead role in the long-running Pippin, won a Tony Award for his portrayal of Oscar in the 1986 revival of Sweet Charity, and led the cast as Marvin in Falsettos. Historical Dictionary of the Broadway Musical Volume 22 William A Everett Paul R, p. 342
- My choice for Best of the Decade: the Off Broadway MARCH OF THE FALSETTOS [Finn: April 1, 1981].) Cole- man harkened back to his jazz background to create some incredibly liquid melodies, like Double Talk, Theme from “City of Angels,” What You Don’t Know about Women, and Ev’rybody’s Gotta Be Somewhere. Show Tunes the Songs Shows and Careers of Broadway S Suskin Steven Suskin Steven, p. 348
- Following the success of the show’s sequel, MARCH OF THE FALSETTOS, a further revision of IN TROUSERS was produced by Roger Berlind and Gregory Harrision at the Promenade Theatre. Show Tunes the Songs Shows and Careers of Broadway S Suskin Steven Suskin Steven, p. 397
- These two scores are exceptional and received due acclaim, but Finn has always veered toward non-mainstream material; more noncommercial than Sondheim, even. He has reached Broadway only once—not with a show intended for Broadway but with FALSETTOS [April 29, 1992], the combined version of the two aforementioned shows. Show Tunes the Songs Shows and Careers of Broadway S Suskin Steven Suskin Steven, p. 402
