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.

- This was not the beginning of musical comedy in Britain – that is usually dated to John Gay (1685-1732)’s The Beggars’ Opera in 1728. However, Gilbert and Sullivan created the first English works with original music ( Beggars’ Opera borrowed established arias and folk tunes) to capture the imagination of the world.

- When the New York Shakespeare Festival mounted a revival of Threepenny Opera starring Raul Julia in 1976, translators Ralph Manheim (1907-92) and John Willett (1917-2002) attempted to find an English equivalent to this way of phrasing. The earlier Marc Blitzstein (1905-64) translation had aimed to make the lyrics more singable, but in thi…ebooks/Atkey, Mel/Million Miles from Broadway_ Musical Theatre Beyond New York and London, A - Mel Atkey.txt
- In the U.S., there is a monthly magazine called Cabaret Scenes with articles on cabaret artists such as Amanda McBroom and John Buc c hino . There is no mention of stand-up, and little talk of political satire. Nor is the emphasis on jazz.

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 biography.
- 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, choreographer, lyricist, director, 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.
