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.

- I had met Michael Greif, the director, a few months ago, when I auditioned for his production of The Seagull (he called me back, but didn’t cast me), and I immediately recognized him sitting in the middle of the seats, his mop of black curls and dark, round, wire-framed glasses offsetting his pale, cherubic face. Having seen his productio…ebooks/Rapp, Anthony/Without You_ A Memoir of Love, Loss, and the Musical Rent - Anthony Rapp.txt
- Michael Greif was currently in La Jolla, a couple of hours’ drive south of LA, rehearsing the California company of Rent, so I decided to drop in on him. Todd was busy with his work, which was fine with me; we needed some time away from each other. Though our fights had lessened a little bit since the trip had begun, I could never trust w…ebooks/Rapp, Anthony/Without You_ A Memoir of Love, Loss, and the Musical Rent - Anthony Rapp.txt
- I got to work with the terrific director Michael Greif. I got to sing some Jerome Kern songs—not too shabby—and I was crazy about my leading man, Peter Gerety. He’s a sexy, funny guy and a really fine actor. That was a show that we really needed more time with.ebooks/Shapiro, Eddie/Nothing Like a Dame_ Conversations with the Great Women of Musical Theater - Eddie Shapiro.txt
- Michael Greif had seen my performance as Lucy Brown in a revival of The Threepenny Opera at Williamstown. Lucy Brown was a comedic, singing, acting role and based on what he saw he felt the character of Mabel Pritt was right for me. Mabel wasn’t originally written as a dancer but Jerry Mitchell ended up creating some lovely choreography f…ebooks/Shapiro, Eddie/Nothing Like a Dame_ Conversations with the Great Women of Musical Theater - Eddie Shapiro.txt
- I didn’t have as much experience as Jesse did, so I didn’t know what to compare it to. For me, I just knew I felt very comfortable with [director] Michael Greif, and I didn’t know what you do when you’re in a “professional” show. It was very freeing and open and I guess set the tone for me. Staging “La Vie Boheme” was a perfect example.

- TO direct this workshop, Nicola brought in a director named Michael Greif, soon to be appointed artistic head of San Diego's La Jolla Playhouse. Greif listened to a tape of Rent on his Walkman while flying in from California to meet Larson in New York in January of 1994. "What impressed me," he remembered, "was its youth and enthusiasm, a…ebooks/Singer, Barry/Ever After_ The Last Years of Musical Theater and Beyond - Barry Singer.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.
- Which of the credits above the roles on this record — director — 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.
