15 of these 44 names have a person record behind them and link to one. The other 29 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.

Around this production

Based on N. Richard Nash's 1954 play The Rainmaker, the musical featured choreography by Agnes de Mille in her final original Broadway musical. Lesley Ann Warren, only 16 years old, made her Broadway debut in the show.
