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.

- Stephen Sondheim feels differently. ‘We should stage each number within an inch of its life, in our own heads when we write.’ And Jerry Herman agrees. He will often visualise specific staging. Of the opening number in La Cage Aux Folles, ‘I Put a Little More Mascara On,’ he says:ebooks/Citron, Stephen/Musical From the Inside Out, The - Stephen Citron.txt
- In La Cage Aux Folles , Jerry Herman gives us a wonderful character song, which is not to be confused with a soliloquy. In the number — the opening of the show — Zaza, the leading character, a female impersonator, is sitting before his make-up mirror getting ready for his act. Depressed with the examination of his ageing face, he tells in…ebooks/Citron, Stephen/Musical From the Inside Out, The - Stephen Citron.txt

Brash and reckless Mack tells his girl ‘I Won’t Send Roses’ and goes on to list his myriad faults — he talks mostly about how unsentimental he is. However at the song’s end he tells her intimately and tenderl…ebooks/Citron, Stephen/Musical From the Inside Out, The - Stephen Citron.txt
- A splendid example, called ‘Cocktail Counterpoint’ may be found in Jerry Herman’s score for La Cage Aux Folles. It occurs in the pre-dinner scene where Georges is trying to hide his homosexuality from M and Mme Dindon, his prospective and bigoted in-laws.

- Jerry Herman says that before he had an opportunity to do a full-length score, producer Kermit Bloomgarden auditioned the songs he had written for revues Parade and Nightcap. ‘I am really impressed,’ Mr Bloomgarden said, ‘but can you picture me hiring you to write the score for a million dollar musical?’ Mr Herman goes on to say, ‘I could…ebooks/Citron, Stephen/Musical From the Inside Out, The - Stephen Citron.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.
