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.

- In 1982, a year after the financial failure of Merrily, Prince collaborated with Betty Comden and Adolph Green and composer Larry Grossman on a sequel to Ibsen's A Doll's House. The show had a picaresque, aimless quality in stark contrast to the relentless inevitability of Ibsen's play. In 1985, with Grossman and lyricist Hal Hackady, Pri…ebooks/Engel, Lehman/Words with Music_ Creating the Broadway Musical Libretto - Lehman Engel.txt
- (An aside, Killgallen’s son-in-law at the time was composer Larry Grossman, who’d eventually get his share of Best Score Tony nominations for A Doll’s Life and Grind. When Grossman is asked what he knows about the Kennedy assassination, he turns pale and snaps, “I never discuss that.

- Prince suggested Larry Grossman to do the score for A Doll's Life. The composer's previously produced shows were Goodtime Charley, Snoopy!!! and the best known of the three, the 1970 Minnie's Boys, which lasted only 76 performances, but had a score greatly admired by Prince.

- Nothing is right about this show; not the capriciously unwinding Comden- Green book, not the Larry Grossman score, not even Harold Prince's staging, which seems obtrusive and heavy-handed. Of course, the whole thing was obviously a lost cause to begin with, and it's no wonder that all these people, as well as the cast, appear hopelessly a…ebooks/Ilson, Carol/Harold Prince_ A Director's Journey - Carol Ilson.txt
- Larry Grossman was again called on by Prince to supply the music, with Ellen Fitzhugh writing the lyrics and Lester Wilson devising the choreography.

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 — 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.
