Al Hirschfeld Theatre

We don't have a performance count. A blank here means the count is unknown, not a short run.

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 18 names have a person record behind them and link to one. The other 17 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.

Creative team

Producer

D'Oyly Carte Opera Company

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 9 held for the work

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

What this page does not know

• Which of the 9 recordings of The Gondoliers document this run, if any.
• When it closed.
• No performance count.
• No director named.
• Reviews, box office, running order, understudies and designers: none of it is held for any production.
