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.

- Meilhac and Halévy would also between them provide the source material for two of the most popular operettas of all time – Die Fledermaus (“The Bat”) (1874) , with music by Johann Strauss Jr. (1825-99) and Die Lustige Witwe (“The Merry Widow ”, 1905) with music by Franz Lehár (1870-1948).

- In “Make Believe,” the ensuing duet between Magnolia and Ravenal (thankfully, in contrast to the Ferber novel they are allowed to speak and sing), Kern connects no less than four individual melodies and distinguishes each by metrical or key changes.

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.
- Birth or death year. Neither is on the record.
- 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 — 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.
