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.

- Even as lighthearted a work as The Will Rogers Follies, with book by Peter Stone and score by Betty Comden, Adolph Green and Cy Coleman, was developed as a "concept musical," the concept being that the life of Will Rogers would be presented not in a conven tional biographical narrative but rather as a series of revue sketches, in the mann…ebooks/Engel, Lehman/Words with Music_ Creating the Broadway Musical Libretto - Lehman Engel.txt
- One of biggest improvements that Rupert Holmes made when adapting the late Peter Stone’s original book to Curtains was to make it shorter. Given that the rule of thumb is that each page of script loosely translates to one minute of stage time, Stone was in the process of writing an extremely lengthy show. An April 1, 1986, draft weighed i…ebooks/Filichia, Peter/B007L4OWCU EBOK - Peter Filichia.txt
- The new title Sugar suggested that book writer Peter Stone, composer Jule Styne, and lyricist Bob Merrill were placing the emphasis on the character that Marilyn Monroe had played in Some Like It Hot . Wonderful as Monroe was (and no other adjective will do), the story is simply not Sugar’s. The focus must always stay on Jerry the bass pl…ebooks/Filichia, Peter/Strippers, Showgirls, and Sharks - Peter Filichia.txt
- Peter Stone, the librettist of Skyscraper (1965–1966), would later admit that he made one mistake that kept the musical from becoming a hit.ebooks/Filichia, Peter/Strippers, Showgirls, and Sharks - Peter Filichia.txt
- So Peter Stone’s book seemed retro, even though he had the good sense to drop such lines as “Women should be clean and illiterate—like canaries.” But Stone apparently thought that having Tess incessantly forget the name of her ex-husband’s new wife Jan (Marilyn Cooper) and have her say “Jane” instead would be funny.ebooks/Filichia, Peter/Strippers, Showgirls, and Sharks - Peter Filichia.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.
- Birth or death year. Neither is on the record.
- 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 — 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.
