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 company rumors were that Yvonne’s new number was going to be a Harold Arlen—style blues song and that Steve was also fiddling with “Uptown, Downtown.” Steve hadn’t been seen in a few days, so it was only natural that rumors would get started. In this instance, however, they were true.

- Harold Arlen’s score is not only his masterwork, it’s one of the richest in the history of musical theater, and combined with his and Capote’s fanciful lyrics, the songs comprise a finely integrated Caribbean cantata of musical explosions (“Bamboo Cage,” “Two Ladies in de Shade of de Banana Tree,” “Mardi Gras”) and exultant flights of fan…ebooks/Dietz, Dan/Complete Book of 1950s Broadway Musicals, The - Dan Dietz.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.
- Which of the credits above the roles on this record — composer, lyricist — 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.
