This data is referenced heavily in chapter 2 of my book. Here, I am attaching the dataset in full in the hopes that it will be more useful to others in this form. I compiled the Barnum database over the course of several years using the following sources:

• Documents found at the Harvard Theatre Collection in Cambridge, MA.

• Documents found at the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, MA.

• Documents found at the Bridgeport History Center in Bridgeport, CT.

• George C. Odell's Annals of the New York Stage

• T. Allston Brown's History of the New York Stage

• Joseph Ireland's Records of the New York Stage, from 1750 - 1860
