Of the 175 productions we hold that opened in the 2020s and record a performance count, this is the 45th longest. That is a rank within what we hold, not within everything that was staged.

Who was in it4 named

Samuel L Jackson
Michael Potts

2 of these 4 names have a person record behind them and link to one. The other 2 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.

Producer

Brian Anthony Moreland

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.

What this page does not know

• No photograph of this staging. 48 of 13,459 productions hold one.
• No recording is held for The Piano Lesson at all.
• No show page for The Piano Lesson. The work is here as a title and a year, and nothing more has been gathered about it.
• Reviews, box office, running order, understudies and designers: none of it is held for any production.
