Who's Who in Musicals
by John Kenrick
(Copyright 1997-2012)
Listed below are the names of over 400 people. Some are familiar,
some widely forgotten, but all of them helped to shape the history of the musical stage and screen.
Many do not have biographies in print or elsewhere on the web, and some that
do are given little credit for their work in musicals. This
section of Musicals101 aims to fill that gap.
