Good Morning,

I have just bought the latest version of Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance and I am trying to add names.  Putting in the main cast members is easy because they have roles but the dancers that make up the troupe, and there are about fifty of them, can't be added, at least I can't see how.  I want to put in a divider, call it Troupe and simply list all the troupe member under that divider.  Can anyone tell me how it can be done without having to add every single person to the cast database?

Thanks,

Wal

I don't know of any other way to add cast members.  If they are not in the db, they have to be added.  I think, though I may be wrong, there is an excel based editor that will allow you to type the names in then import them into the profile.  Other than that, though, it's one at a time in the cast editor screen.

How are the dancers credited?
Are they under the heading Troupe? In that case you are correct in using a group divider named Troupe.
If you want to contribute your addition, make sure the cast section accurately represents what is in the credits.

The main cast members are credited as playing characters the Troupe members are not credited as characters, just as members of the troupe so the "role played" would have to be blank right?

I have contributed before so I do know the drill; I've already hand transcribed all the names from the end credits although I probably won't use them all.

Yes, the role played for the Troupe members should be blank in this case.
