2 of these 15 names have a person record behind them and link to one. The other 13 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.

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.

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.
Recordings 1 held for the work
None of these is attributed to this staging. They are filed against South Pacific, and nothing in the record says which production any of them documents. Closing that join is the point of this catalogue and it is not closed yet.
What this page does not know
- No photograph of this staging. 48 of 13,459 productions hold one.
- Which of the 1 recordings of South Pacific document this run, if any.
- Reviews, box office, running order, understudies and designers: none of it is held for any production.
