8 of these 36 names have a person record behind them and link to one. The other 28 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

The New York Shakespeare Festival (Joseph Papp, Producer)

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 6 held for the work

None of these is attributed to this staging. They are filed against The Threepenny Opera, 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

• No photograph of this staging.
• No character names. We can say who was in the company and not who they played.
• Which of the 6 recordings of The Threepenny Opera document this run, if any.
• Reviews, box office, running order, understudies and designers: none of it is held for any production.
