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 young composer in Jonathan Larson's 1996 Rent speaks of wanting to write a tune like Musetta's aria, the "hit song" from Puccini's La Boheme, on which Rent is loosely based.

- So one can only imagine what we lost from Jonathan Larson’s all-too-premature death on January 25, 1996. This happened when his friends and relatives were giving thought to how to celebrate his upcoming thirty-sixth birthday on February 4.ebooks/Filichia, Peter/B007L4OWCU EBOK - Peter Filichia.txt
- Whatever the case may be, Jonathan Larson gets credit for motivating an entirely new generation of theatergoers to enter a Broadway theater—and/or sleep outside it while waiting to get tickets. “Rentheads,” these individuals were called. Had any musical before this had so many groupies that they required a name?ebooks/Filichia, Peter/B007L4OWCU EBOK - Peter Filichia.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.
- 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, lyricist, 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.
