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.

- The Ambassadors is one of James’s most difficult and complexly written novels, and while a Sondheim or a Lerner might have tackled it interestingly, Don Ettlinger (book), Don Gohman (music), Hal Hackady (lyrics), and Stone Widney (direction) did not. Hackady had already done Minnie’s Boys, and Widney was an assistant director on such Lern…ebooks/Mandelbaum, Ken/Not Since Carrie_ Forty Years of Broadway Musical Flops - Ken Mandelbaum.txt
- Don Ettlinger’s book and Hal Hackady’s lyrics failed to come up with anything noteworthy in an evening that had embarrassingly unfunny comedy numbers (‘You Can Tell a Lady by her Hat’ and ‘What Can You Do with a Nude?’), a depressing aria for its ingénue Isobel Stuart (‘Love Finds the Lonely’), and too many songs that strained to create a…ebooks/Wright, Adrian/Tanner's Worth of Tune_ Rediscovering the post-war British Musical, A - Adrian Wright.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.
- Any portrait. 1,626 of 7,139 people have one, so this is the usual case rather than the exception.
- Which of the credits above the roles on this record — 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.
