14 of these 63 names have a person record behind them and link to one. The other 49 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

- Me and Juliet was the 29th and penultimate Broadway musical choreographed by Robert Alton. Broadway Musicals Show By Show Green Stanley Green Kay 5th Ed Rev and Updated By, p. 181
- There were also breathtaking dissolves depicting both the cast rehearsing a musical number in casual working togs and the cast performing in full costume on stage before an audience. Complete Book of 1950s Broadway Musicals the Dan Dietz, p. 330
- As for the score of twenty-two separate numbers (including reprises, dances, and the second-act finale), ten were from “Me and Juliet,” and twelve were tied to the plot, albeit two of them (“The Big, Black Giant” and “Intermission Talk”) only tenuously. Complete Book of 1950s Broadway Musicals the Dan Dietz, p. 330
- One suspects the audiences of Me and Juliet expected a connection and were let down by the series of “Me and Juliet” sequences that wound in and out of the evening without ever clearly establishing themselves in their own right and not mirroring the action of Me and Juliet. Complete Book of 1950s Broadway Musicals the Dan Dietz, p. 331
