Line 451:
== Theater ==
* The cast of ''[[Godspell]]'', sans Jesus and John/Judas, are [[Original Cast Precedent|named after the actors who portrayed them in the original cast.]] Newer performances of this show often change character names to match their own casts.
* Similarly, the main character of ''[[The Magic Show]]'' is named for the actor/magician who plays him.
* ''[[Finian's Rainbow]]'' has a harmonica-playing minor character named Sunny, originally played by Sonny Terry.
* In the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' stage play "Seven Keys to Doomsday", the companions were going to be called Dave and Jenny; but when James Mathews was cast, his character was renamed to Jimmy. Later stage revivals reverted to "Dave", but in the [[Big Finish]] audio version he's "Jimmy" again.
Line 461 ⟶ 462:
** ''"O"'': Le Vieux, the emcee, was long known as Eugen after original performer Eugene Brim.
* A strange inversion: Born Joseph Lane, a name that was already in use by another actor, Nathan Lane took his stage name after, Nathan Detroit, his favorite character in Broadway classic ''[[Guys and Dolls]]''. Years later, his Broadway career reached new heights when he received rave notices for playing Nathan Detroit in a revival.
