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.

- Morton Gould completely ruined Billy the Kid at the Stadium last week, to say nothing of Newsreel , which isn't so hot to begin with, to say nothing of Roy's Ode to Truth , which – well, I can't even describe it, except as an eternal measure of turdlike notes that will never be counted out.

- Watts said Morton Gould’s score wasn’t “particularly interesting,” and noted Bailey’s “humorous brilliance” made her “fairly ordinary songs seem witty and charming.” Hawkins felt there was “rarely a song lilting enough to win you,” but John Chapman in the Daily News said the music was in the “sweet and fruity Gould style.” Barnes found th…ebooks/Dietz, Dan/Complete Book of 1950s Broadway Musicals, The - Dan Dietz.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.
- 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.
