Of the 705 productions we hold that opened in the 1950s and record a performance count, this is the 183rd longest. That is a rank within what we hold, not within everything that was staged.

The theatre record for this run is wrong

This is a New York theatre, and the address on this record is right. Its architect, capacity, history and coordinates were taken from a different theatre of the same name in London, so we are not showing them. Reported to broadway-data as issue #97.

2 of these 11 names have a person record behind them and link to one. The other 9 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.

The Producers Theatre

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 character names. We can say who was in the company and not who they played.
  • No recording is held for The Waltz of the Toreadors at all.
  • No show page for The Waltz of the Toreadors. 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.
