Mr. Jones' connection to the record-breaking musical extended beyond his writing; he also created the role of Henry (The Old Actor), under the stage name Thomas Bruce, in the original production. He would return to the role numerous times, including in 2010 in the revival as it celebrated its 50th anniversary.
