Who was in it9 named

Kyle Dean Massey

8 of these 9 names have a person record behind them and link to one. The other 1 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.

These came out of a wiki table. The names arrived with the table's own cell markup on them and have been stripped back. They are not linked to person records because the identifiers in that table do not resolve to ours.

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.

Recordings 2 held for the work

None of these is attributed to this staging. They are filed against Next to Normal, and nothing says which production any of them documents. Closing that join is the point of this catalogue and it is not closed yet.

Around this production

It won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Alice Ripley called performing the lead role eight times a week "like running a marathon while crying."
