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.

  • The Apple Tree. Cabaret won eight Tonys and became a musical-theater classic, and suddenly Harold Prince looked very smart.ebooks/Filichia, Peter/B007L4OWCU EBOK - Peter Filichia.txt
  • The Apple Tree, three one-act musicals from 1966 to 1967, was not only produced by Ostrow, but inspired by him, too. He’d noted what so many had seen before him: musicals almost always have second-act trouble. But what if they had no second acts, he reasoned. Once again, Lieberson had Columbia do all the bankrolling and this time got most…ebooks/Filichia, Peter/B007L4OWCU EBOK - Peter Filichia.txt

  • The music is not continuous throughout this first act of The Apple Tree but has a dominant presence, providing not only character exploration and comic moments but also integral plot development and dramatic intensifications.

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 biography.
  • 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.
