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 title song in Cabaret crowns Joe Masteroff’s remarkable libretto in the second act’s fifth scene. (There are seven in the act.) Although sung as a solo, it takes place at the Kit Kat Klub and qualifies as a semi-production number. 119 The number states Sally Bowles’s philosophy about breezing through the brevity of life, and does so w…ebooks/Citron, Stephen/Musical From the Inside Out, The - Stephen Citron.txt
- Prince deserved even more acclaim because he was the one who told bookwriter Joe Masteroff, composer John Kander, and lyricist Fred Ebb that they should use that Emcee they’d created to comment on the action. He also had the idea that what happened in the Kit Kat Club should mirror what was going on outside in the streets of increasingly…ebooks/Filichia, Peter/B007L4OWCU EBOK - Peter Filichia.txt

The two had just finished working together on She Loves Me when Prince suggested doing I Am a Camera (the John van Druten play based on the Berlin Stories of Christopher Isherwood) as a musical. Once the collaborators for Cabaret were set, it took a while to e…ebooks/Ilson, Carol/Harold Prince_ A Director's Journey - Carol Ilson.txt
- Joe Masteroff remembers that the show did not do well during its Boston tryout. He said, "People just kept streaming out of the theatre. Ten minutes after the curtain went up, people started departing."56 The reason for this, Masteroff feels, is that the title of the show did not prepare the audience for what they would see. They expected…ebooks/Ilson, Carol/Harold Prince_ A Director's Journey - Carol Ilson.txt
- To write the libretto, the creative team recruited Joe Masteroff, whose play The Warm Peninsula (1959) had played on Broadway a few years earlier.

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 — 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.
