6 of these 15 names have a person record behind them and link to one. The other 9 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.

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
Here Lies Love is a concept album and rock musical made in collaboration between musicians David Byrne and Fatboy Slim, about the life of the former First Lady of the Philippines Imelda Marcos along with the woman who raised her—Estrella Cumpas—and follows Marcos until she and her family were forced to leave the Philippines. The album features 22 guest vocalists and was released on 5 April 2010, under Nonesuch Records and Todomundo in several formats, including a deluxe double-Compact Disc set with a DVD of music videos from the album and a 120-page book. The album was adapted as a rock musical that premiered in 2013 off-Broadway at The Public Theater and ran again at the Public in 2014–2015…
- It went on to thirteen weeks in Variety's listing of the nation’s top song hits and might well have typecast Rainger if his other song for the picture, completely different in style, hadn’t become an even bigger hit—with 22 weeks in the Top 10, including five weeks in the No. 1 spot.
