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.

- Jason Robert Brown’s “Christmas Lullaby” from Songs for a New World and Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick’s “Matchmaker, Matchmaker” from Fiddler on the Roof illustrate two different treatments of the use of passing tones (figures 1.51a and 1.51b ).

- Unfortunately, The Rothschilds led to friction between Jerry Bock and me. It had to do with the original director for the show. Derek Goldby. He’d done only straight plays, and there’s some mysterious, magical quality in a musical that a dramatic director just can’t handle.

- 83 When Joseph Stein, Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick decided to do Fiddler on the Roof they weren’t sure whether the stories of Sholom Aleichem from which the plot was derived were still under copyright or in the public domain.

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 — composer, 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.
