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.

- Fosse took Roger O. Hirson’s script and Stephen Schwartz’s score and shaped them the way he wanted. Hirson was forty-six to Schwartz’s twenty-four, but both saw eye to eye on the story they wanted to tell: a coming-of-age tale about Pippin, son of Charlemagne, the first Holy Roman Emperor. Like so many sons of great men, Pippin has a hard…ebooks/Filichia, Peter/B007L4OWCU EBOK - Peter Filichia.txt
- Although Pippin was the son of Charlemagne, head of the Holy Roman Empire in the late eighth century, Schwartz and book writer Roger O. Hirson wanted contemporary teens to identify with the lad’s aimlessness: Pippin went to war with men, to bed with women, and used revolutionary means to right what he perceived were his father’s wrongs.

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 — 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.
