8 of these 23 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.

- Look at Joaquina Kalukango [who won the 2022 Tony Award for Paradise Square]! That path was laid so that she could do what she has done, but now she’s added to it and the bar is raised even higher. Here S To the Ladies Conversations With More of the Great Eddie Shapiro Oxford U, p. 290
