Each row is a staging this name appears in the cast list of, read from the production record rather than from the person record. The person record names works instead, and a work cannot say which run somebody was in. That is how Elaine Stritch ends up filed under Show Boat 1927 when she was in the 1994 revival. No row here says what part was played, because no cast list records it.

What this page does not know
- What this person played. No cast list we hold records a character against 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 (composer) 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.
