Bob Randall

The Magic Show

These come off the person record, which names a work and not a production. So we can say this name is attached to the work and we cannot say which staging, or in what capacity. For a composer or a writer that is the whole career we hold; there is no cast list to find them in.

• “I don’t think anyone on Broadway was ever so admired and so hated, simultaneously.”—playwright BOB RANDALL (6 Rms Riv Vu )Broadway Babylon - Boze Hadleigh
• the structure of The Magic Show is still corny. That is because Bob Randall’s book is clumsy and unimaginative, probably the worst story you could imagine for a magic show. As a result, whatever Dale tried to lay on top of it as production concept neither lies there nor is even clear. As for Schwartz’s music, it is almost as disorganized—…More Opening Nights on Broadway - Steven Suskin

What this page does not know

• What this person played. No cast list we hold records a character against a performer.
• Any staging. This name appears in no production cast list we hold, most often because the person was a writer, composer or designer rather than a performer.
• Any portrait. Most people in this catalogue don't have one, so this is the usual case rather than the exception.
• Which of the credits above the roles on this record (book writer) apply to. The roles sit on the person and never on a credit, so a director who also acted looks the same here as one who did not.
