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.

- By 1927, the early masters of the American Broadway musical, Herbert, Cohan, Romberg, and Rudolf Friml, either had completed or were nearing the end of their numerous, lucrative, and—for their era—long-lived Broadway runs. Joining Kern, a new generation of Broadway composers and lyricists—Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, Oscar Hammerstein, Geo…ebooks/Block, Geoffrey/Enchanted Evenings_The Broadway Musical from 'Show Boat' to Sondheim and Lloyd Webber - Geoffrey Block.txt
- Rose-Marie was composer Rudolf Friml’s biggest hit and the fourth longest running musical of the Twenties. In 1936, Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy were seen in a popular — trough completely altered — screen version. The second one, with Howard Keel and Ann Blyth, came out in 1954.ebooks/Green, Stanley/Broadway Musicals, Show By Show - Seventh Edition - Stanley Green & Cary Ginell.txt
- Just as The Vagabond King had offered Dennis King as the dashing Francois Villon singing Rudolf Friml songs in a tale of adventure and intrigue in the days of Louis XI, so The Three Musketeers offered King as the dashing d’Artagnan singing Friml songs in a tale of adventure and intrigue in the days of Louis XIII.

Friml completed the score in a month, working with a new librettist named Otto Hauerback (later Harbach).

- Let us pause for a minute and take a look at two songs. One is from The Desert Song: music by Rudolf Friml, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II. It opened November, 1926, but the style could just as easily have been from 1916 or 1906, or even 1896. It is a love song and it is called, like the show's title, "The Desert Song."ebooks/Jones, Tom/Making Musicals_ An Informal Introduction to the World of Musical Theater - Tom Jones.txt
- At first the new sound of Gershwin coexisted amiably enough with operetta. The two grand masters of the form, Rudolf Friml and Sigmund Romberg, scored some of their biggest successes during the 1920s, but by 1930 they were in eclipse. Both composers had shows open that year: Romberg’s Nina Rosa was a disappointment, and Friml’s Luana was…ebooks/Kellow, Brian/Ethel Merman_ A Life - Brian Kellow.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 — 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.
