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.

  • Jeremy Sams (1957- ), who wrote the English adaptation of Passe-Muraille / Amour , argues that “The idea of dramaturgy [in the Anglo-American sense] in a musical is totally absent in Offenbach and all French works, including, fascinatingly, the French (pre Cameron [Mackintosh]) version of Les Miz .” He argues that this is also true of Fre…ebooks/Atkey, Mel/Million Miles from Broadway_ Musical Theatre Beyond New York and London, A - Mel Atkey.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, 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.
