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.

Musical styles can evoke a sense of place and time. It hardly matters that the music may not actually be indigenous to that place. American music is, for the…ebooks/Atkey, Mel/Million Miles from Broadway_ Musical Theatre Beyond New York and London, A - Mel Atkey.txt
- What I learned was that, while Jerome Kern and George Gershwin had studied and been influenced by the great European operettas and musical comedies, they yearned to create something that was more identifiably American.

Back in Germany he did an adaptation of Carl Zuckmayer ’s 1928 folk play Katharina Knie , set in a tr…ebooks/Atkey, Mel/Million Miles from Broadway_ Musical Theatre Beyond New York and London, A - Mel Atkey.txt
- Of course, it’s all nonsense. The Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson says, “ I’ve always loved George Gershwin .

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.
