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.

- 21 . For a thorough and helpful introduction to Cabaret and the work of Kander and Ebb as a whole, see Leve, John Kander and Fred Ebb .ebooks/Block, Geoffrey/Enchanted Evenings_The Broadway Musical from 'Show Boat' to Sondheim and Lloyd Webber - Geoffrey Block.txt
- Fred Ebb’s lyrics in Cabaret are often moving and trenchant. At the end of the first act, however, the script calls for a light-hearted moment during the engagement party of the Jew, Herr Schultz and his German landlady, Fraülein Schneider. This will occur prior to a malevolent scene and hymn that intimates the Nazi horror to come. Mr Ebb…ebooks/Citron, Stephen/Musical From the Inside Out, The - Stephen Citron.txt
- The public’s adoration of stars may be considered a kind of insurance, but sometimes, if the star and the role do not gibe, their presence can act as a kind of ‘de-surance’.

- John Kander who, along with his partner, Fred Ebb, have made their names synonymous with a whole genre of show biz songs: ‘New York, New York’; ‘Cabaret’; ‘City Lights’ etc., confesses that he cannot predict the future. In fact, even the current state of the theatre puzzles him, and as a musically eclectic composer (Flora, the Red Menace,…ebooks/Citron, Stephen/Musical From the Inside Out, The - Stephen Citron.txt
- 131 Fred Ebb confesses to a similar way of working with the librettist’s dialogue. ‘You may reshape what may be given to you as a dialogue scene so that it comes out as song.

That was a dialogue scene.’ [The pineapple song is one of the most c…ebooks/Citron, Stephen/Musical From the Inside Out, The - Stephen Citron.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 — 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.
