Kurt Gänzl
Kurt-Friedrich Gänzl (born 15 February 1946) is a writer, musicologist, casting director and singer best known for his books about musical theatre.
After a decade-long acting and singing career and a second career as a casting director of West End shows, Gänzl has become one of the world's most important chroniclers of the history of musical theatre. According to Canal Académie, "Kurt Gänzl is an institution. No one interested in musicals and operetta can ignore that. He is the world reference – with some few others, like Gerald Bordman, Ken Bloom, or Andrew Lamb – for that subject".〔Mirambeau, Christophe. ("Kurt Gänzl and Emily Soldene (1840–1912)" ), Canal Académie, 17 June 2007〕

After the company closed, he moved to London and studied for a year at the London Opera Centre. For ten years, he worked as a performer, including a season in London's hit show, ''The Black and White Minstrels''. His last show was Harold Fielding's ''Hans Andersen'' at the London Palladium.〔(''Hans Anderson'' ), Guide to Musical Theatre, accessed 21 January 2010〕 He then worked as a talent agent and as a casting director for over a dozen musicals and plays in London's West End theatres and for musical and operatic productions in Europe, Australia and America.〔
