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.

- When Fiddler on the Roof opened in Japan for the first time, one of the producers asked the show’s book writer Joseph Stein , “Tell me, do they understand this show in America?” Perplexed, Stein replied “What do you mean?” “It’s so Japanese!” [196] Yet this statement can be read two ways. Many will interpret it to mean that Fiddler is so…ebooks/Atkey, Mel/Million Miles from Broadway_ Musical Theatre Beyond New York and London, A - Mel Atkey.txt

At the same time it introduces the concept of the play. Tradition. Whenever possible, it is extremely…ebooks/Citron, Stephen/Musical From the Inside Out, The - Stephen Citron.txt
- A plot device, once established can be a powerful and yet comfortable way to get the second act started. Fiddler on the Roof uses a device Joseph Stein, the librettist, set up at the beginning of the musical — Tevye’s monologue, — this time to God. It is amusing, character revealing and shows the protagonist’s acceptance of his fate. It i…ebooks/Citron, Stephen/Musical From the Inside Out, The - Stephen Citron.txt
- 74 Family relationships which were crumbling in many countries as well as the United States were most precarious in a rapidly industrialising Japan.

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.
