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.

- Director
- Eric Schaeffer
- Producer
- Relevant Theatricals, John Cossette Productions, American Pop Anthology, Broadway Across America (John Gore: CEO; Thomas B. McGrath: Chairman; Beth Williams: COO & Head of Production), and James L. Nederlander
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.
