7 of these 88 names have a person record behind them and link to one. The other 81 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
Despite a libretto co-written by Oscar Hammerstein II and Russel Crouse, the show was a quick flop. Ted Healy, later famous as the creator of The Three Stooges act, appeared in the cast.
- Incidentally, the last name of three of the major characters in The Gang’s All Here was Winterbottom, and one supposes Ryskind was inspired to utilize this name for the characters of the president (Wintergreen) and vice president (Throttlebottom) when he and George S. Kaufman wrote the book for Of Thee I Sing, which op… The Complete Book of 1930s Broadway Musicals Dietz Dan Rowman Littlefield Publis, p. 125
- Atkinson noted, however, that the comedian reclaimed “a few trifles” from The Gang’s All Here (these “trifles” were comic moments from that show, not musical ones). The Complete Book of 1930s Broadway Musicals Dietz Dan Rowman Littlefield Publis, p. 136
- Miranda’s Twentieth Century-Fox musicals were over-the-top Technicolor explosions with splashy musical moments (The Gang’s All Here, anyone?) and her irresistible good will and humor always made her a welcome presence. The Complete Book of 1930s Broadway Musicals Dietz Dan Rowman Littlefield Publis, p. 599
- Moderate successes include “The Andersonville Trial,” “Rashomon,” “Tall Story,” “The Rivalry,” “Chéri,” “The Gang’s All Here” and “Goodbye Charlie.” A Pictorial History of the American Theatre 1860 1985 Blum, p. 367
- The Gang’s All Here opened to very mixed reviews and closed after only twenty-three performances. Cambridge Companion To the Musical Cambridge Companions To Music the the Cambrid, p. 192
