25 of these 56 names have a person record behind them and link to one. The other 31 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.

Speaker unknown. Cambridge Companion To the Musical Cambridge Companions To Music the the Cambrid, p. 441- Titanic opened to mixed reviews after severe technical mishaps during previews with a set that recreated the tipping of the decks on the doomed ocean liner.
