• When Fiddler on the Roof opened in Japan for the first time, one of the producers asked the show’s book writer Joseph Stein , “Tell me, do they understand this show in America?” Perplexed, Stein replied “What do you mean?” “It’s so Japanese!” [196] Yet this statement can be read two ways. Many will interpret it to mean that Fiddler is so…Million Miles from Broadway_ Musical Theatre Beyond New York and London, A - Mel Atkey
• There were learning curves: after they auditioned the score for the producers in London, they were met with a stony silence. They were told that they could not use the name of “Allah” in a song lyric – even if it did refer to apple pie with ice cream (i.e., “à la mode”).

• One of the producers of the North American incarnation was actress Bette Midler , and she conceded that some changes have been made to appeal to middle-American sensibilities. “You still get the flavor that has always been part of Priscilla , but it’s not quite as down and dirty, not as in your face so much so that you might pull back,” s…Million Miles from Broadway_ Musical Theatre Beyond New York and London, A - Mel Atkey
• Though initially reticent, the producers ultimately agreed to the plan, which would in fact cut the proposed budget by nearly a third; the estimated final cost of the picture was around $3,500,000, a fairly modest sum for a major motion picture but still almost three times that of The Rocky Horror Picture Show .Still the Beast is Feeding_ 40 Years of Rocky Horror - Rob Bagnall & Phil Barden
• Given the Rocky Horror producers’ apparent desire to secure bankable names – with Adrian Edmondson and Tim McInnerny already in the cast – it was something of a bitter irony that what they perceived as an unshakable public image as EastEnders ’ unmarried punk mum looked like costing Davidson a chance to play the one role she had dreamed o…Still the Beast is Feeding_ 40 Years of Rocky Horror - Rob Bagnall & Phil Barden
• Any hopes the producers may have harboured that the outlandish and unruly audiences of the 1980s may have gone away – forgotten about Rocky and taken up football hooliganism as an alternative hobby perhaps – were swiftly dashed when the new production opened for its first preview performance on Wednesday 4 July 1990.Still the Beast is Feeding_ 40 Years of Rocky Horror - Rob Bagnall & Phil Barden

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.
• Birth or death year. Neither is on the record.
• Any biography.
• 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.
