6 of these 21 names have a person record behind them and link to one. The other 15 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

This was one of Jerome Kern's early Broadway efforts, adapted from a German musical. It helped establish Kern's reputation for bringing a more sophisticated, European-influenced sound to the American musical stage.
