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.

- He was, however, financially overextended, and when his production of the Terrence McNally-Lynn Ahrens-Stephen Flaherty musical based on E.L. Doctorow's Ragtime failed to win the rave reviews it needed to make it a blockbuster, Drabinsky's whole financial empire began to unravel. Whatever the consequences for investors, his disappearance…ebooks/Engel, Lehman/Words with Music_ Creating the Broadway Musical Libretto - Lehman Engel.txt
- A great part of his legacy is that he was, as Ragtime lyricist Lynn Ahrens once said, “an equal-opportunity collaborator.” No late twentieth-century composer gave as many chances to women and fledgling writers.ebooks/Filichia, Peter/B007L4OWCU EBOK - Peter Filichia.txt
- Lynn Ahrens had excellent ideas for songs. “Some Say,” in which the natives told the story of TiMoune, noted that tales become distorted from retellings. (“No one knows how the real truth goes. It all depends what you hear from friends.”) Most skillful of all was “Some Girls,” in which Daniel sang of both TiMoune and Andrea, the high-born…ebooks/Filichia, Peter/Strippers, Showgirls, and Sharks - Peter Filichia.txt

Then a freshman at Syracuse University, Ahrens dragged her boyfriend to New York City to see Fiddler , her very first Broadway show. “I was mesmerized by the girl who played the eldest daughter,” said Ragtime lyricist Ahrens. “It turned out it w…ebooks/Isenberg, Barbara/Tradition!_ The Highly Improbable, Ultimately Triumphant Broadway-to-Hollywood Story of Fiddler on the Roof, the World's Most Beloved Musical - Barbara Isenberg.txt

- A multitude of principals filled Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens’ Ragtime (1988) as well, in a lively look back at the bygone days of an America not yet absorbing its immigrant subcultures. Flaherty and Ahrens do their best work when a show is set in the faraway, like this one, for like Frederick Loewe, Flaherty responds to the exotic.

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.
- Which of the credits above the roles on this record — 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.
