Andrew Lippa

On stage 1 production

Each row is a staging this name appears in the cast list of, read from the production record rather than from the person record. The person record names works instead, and a work cannot say which run somebody was in — that is how Elaine Stritch ends up filed under Show Boat 1927 when she was in the 1994 revival. No row here says what part was played, because no cast list records it.

Big Fish
The Addams Family
The Wild Party

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.

• During the same season, another musical version of the same poem was penned by Andrew Lippa. Its off-Broadway production proved to be the ideal setting for any Wild Party musical, which needs an apartment-sized space.

• I first heard of Andrew Lippa when Denny, Ashley, and I were cohabiting in one of our many Midtown sublets. Denny came home from a tour feeling pretty flush and said, “Anywhere you want to go.

• The ninety-minute set involves backup dancers, full orchestra, a rambunctious onstage homicide, and no rest for the Wicked, pardon the pun. Andrew Lippa always has my back.

What this page does not know

• What this person played. No cast list we hold records a character against a performer.
• Which of the credits above the roles on this record — composer, lyricist, book writer — 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.
