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.

- Such a hit usually makes everyone involved very happy. Perhaps director Mike Ockrent and Susan Stroman were just kidding around two years later when they said they could see Horchow taking over as Everett when Carleton (“Aba-Daba Honeymoon”) Carpenter went on vacation. Horchow, who’d worked closely with American Express during his merchan…ebooks/Filichia, Peter/B007L4OWCU EBOK - Peter Filichia.txt
- Stroman seemed to be leading a charmed life. Crazy for You lasted four years, during which time she and Mike Ockrent, its director, fell in love and married. By then she’d won Best Choreography Tonys for Crazy for You and a 1994 revival of Show Boat. That year, she and Ockrent collaborated on A Christmas Carol at Madison Square Garden tha…ebooks/Filichia, Peter/B007L4OWCU EBOK - Peter Filichia.txt
- “That was Susan’s suggestion,” says Brooks, referring to Susan Stroman, the choreographer Brooks had hired when he’d chosen her husband, Mike Ockrent, to direct. But after Ockrent died in 1999—and Stroman got four Tony nominations later that season for directing and choreographing Contact and The Music Man —Brooks allowed Stroman to stage…ebooks/Filichia, Peter/B007L4OWCU EBOK - Peter Filichia.txt

- For Crazy for You, Ken Ludwig (author of Lend Me a Tenor) and Mike Ockrent (director of Me and My Girl) used five numbers and part of a sixth (“Bidin’ My Time,” “Could You Use Me?,” “Embraceable You,” “I Got Rhythm,” “But Not For Me,” and part of “Bronco Busters”) from the 1930 score of Girl Crazy, and added a dozen more songs, of which t…ebooks/Green, Stanley/Broadway Musicals, Show By Show - Seventh Edition - Stanley Green & Cary Ginell.txt
- "Two and a half years ago my husband Mike Ockrent and I got a call saying Mel Brooks wanted to meet us," Susan Stroman recalled. "`Sure,' we said, `maybe next Thursday.' No, we were told, he wants to meet you right now. About an hour later I opened our front door and there stood Mel Brooks. He didn't say hello.

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, 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.
