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.

- He was, however, financially overextended, and when his production of the Terrence McNally-Lynn Ahrens-Stephen Flaherty musical based on E.L. Doctorow's Ragtime failed to win the rave reviews it needed to make it a blockbuster, Drabinsky's whole financial empire began to unravel. Whatever the consequences for investors, his disappearance…ebooks/Engel, Lehman/Words with Music_ Creating the Broadway Musical Libretto - Lehman Engel.txt
- At least when the 1998 Tonys were dispensed, Ahrens and composer Stephen Flaherty were justifiably rewarded. Interesting that Generation Xer Flaherty, even when he was just starting out in the eighties, composed traditional-sounding theater music.

- Stephen Flaherty’s melody for the song was so beautiful that one could overlook the guilt-trip message. His work with the other songs was so glorious that he created a musical version of a banquet: one delicious dish after another.ebooks/Filichia, Peter/Strippers, Showgirls, and Sharks - Peter Filichia.txt
- A multitude of principals filled Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens’ Ragtime (1988) as well, in a lively look back at the bygone days of an America not yet absorbing its immigrant subcultures.

- During the 2003 season, Weitzman had worked on Lincoln Center Theater's A Man of No Importance, a new musical by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty based on the 1994 film, with a book by Terrence McNally, directed by Joe Mantello. Though critics gave the show short shrift,61 many others found its understated voice quite charming.

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, 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.
