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.

- E. Y. Harburg and Fred Saidy’s sharply disguised satire of racial prejudice, Southern politics, and economic unrest struck a relevant chord when this revival (the show’s first in a half century) made its debut at the onset of a severe American recession. But despite garnering glowing reviews, the producers closed the show after less than…ebooks/Green, Stanley/Broadway Musicals, Show By Show - Seventh Edition - Stanley Green & Cary Ginell.txt
- When Fred Saidy, E.Y. "Yip" Harburg and Harold Arlen auditioned the show for Merrick and a few friends the year before, it was an intimate piece, clearly the kin of Finianc Rainbow, which Harburg and Saidy had written with Burton Lane in 1947.

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, director — 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.
