Morosco Theatre

Of the 1,389 productions we hold that opened in the 1930s and carry a performance count, this is the 860th longest. That is a rank within what we hold, not within everything that was staged.

No closing date. At this distance that most likely means nobody wrote down when it ended, rather than that the run went on.

1 of these 17 names have a person record behind them and link to one. The other 16 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.

Producer

Carl Hunt

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 3 held for the work

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