9 of these 32 names have a person record behind them and link to one. The other 23 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.

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.

Around this production

The show was based on the life of producer Mike Todd, who was famous for his lavish productions and was later married to Elizabeth Taylor.

• Even the massive PBS Broadway series included only the briefest of clips of him. He did appear as a character in a musical, the short-lived Mike Todd bio Ain't Broadway Grand, in which he was capably impersonated by Gerry Vichi, who got Clark's bawdy spirit right, if not his physical comedy.
