These come off the person record, which names a work and not a production. So we can say this name is attached to the work and we cannot say which staging, or in what capacity. For a composer or a writer that is the whole career we hold; there is no cast list to find them in.

- With a book and lyrics by B-movie aficionado Howard Ashman and music by Alan Menken, Little Shop of Horrors incorporated elements of the classic theatrical horror-comedy Arsenic and Old Lace and the oft-told Sweeney Todd legend, and combined them with a pastiche of catchy 1960s-style tunes, forbidden romance and lashings of ghoulish black…ebooks/Bagnall, Rob/Still the Beast is Feeding_ 40 Years of Rocky Horror - Rob Bagnall & Phil Barden.txt
- They asked Roth, West, and Meyer to make a proposal independent of composer Alan Menken and scriptwriter Linda Woolverton. (Lyricist Howard Ashman had died.)ebooks/Filichia, Peter/B007L4OWCU EBOK - Peter Filichia.txt
- Not that Schwartz went hungry; he went Hollywood. He started working with Alan Menken and wrote lyrics to Pocahontas in 1995, later winning two Oscars (one for the song “Colors of the Wind”). The following year, the team did The Hunchback of Notre Dame, which got each of them an Oscar nomination. In 1999, Schwartz then wrote the entire sc…ebooks/Filichia, Peter/B007L4OWCU EBOK - Peter Filichia.txt
- “All we need is one score,” Jonas said. So did Leap of Faith . Alan Menken’s music was his dullest ever, even when he paraded out gospel numbers. Glenn Slater’s lyrics had an occasional turn of phrase. “A fox like you don’t fool a chick like me,” sang a woman, before later adding, “You’re like an open book that I put down by chapter two.”ebooks/Filichia, Peter/Strippers, Showgirls, and Sharks - Peter Filichia.txt
- Perhaps the voters didn’t want to vote for such a literal translation of a popular film. Composer Alan Menken, now collaborating with lyricist Tim Rice since the death of longtime partner Howard Ashman (1950–1991), did add seven songs to the nine he wrote for the original film. And yet, it still seemed that the beloved 1991 film—the first…ebooks/Filichia, Peter/Strippers, Showgirls, and Sharks - Peter Filichia.txt
- Perhaps the devil made book writers Cheri and Bill Steinkellner, composer Alan Menken, and lyricist Glenn Slater do it. Nunsense ’s Dan Goggin became a multimillionaire by using the same low humor, so why shouldn’t Sister Act pander to an equally low common denominator, to audiences that think nuns in a kickline are a riot?ebooks/Filichia, Peter/Strippers, Showgirls, and Sharks - Peter Filichia.txt

What this page does not know
- What this person played. No cast list we hold records a character against a performer.
- Any staging. This name appears in no production cast list we hold — 1,877 of 7,139 people are in that position, most of them writers, composers and designers rather than performers.
- Which of the credits above the roles on this record — composer — apply to. The roles sit on the person and never on a credit, so a director who also acted looks the same here as one who did not.
