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.

- One other Canadian-based story made it to Broadway, but since the success of The Happy Time was modest, it is virtually unknown in the land of its setting. When producer David Merrick originally approached playwright N. Richard Nash ( The Rainmaker ) to write the book, Nash preferred instead to do an entirely original story. However, Merr…ebooks/Atkey, Mel/Million Miles from Broadway_ Musical Theatre Beyond New York and London, A - Mel Atkey.txt
- Among fairly recent failures (discussed more extensively later) where the librettos had no subplot are Candide, The Happy Time, Maggie Flynn, Skyscraper, Darling of the Day, Her First Roman, Ben Franklin in Paris, Billy, Dear World, etc.ebooks/Engel, Lehman/Words with Music_ Creating the Broadway Musical Libretto - Lehman Engel.txt
- The Happy Time had handsome Robert Goulet and his beautiful voice. End of review. He seemed to be looking for something (he was a photographer), but whatever it was it didn't seem to matter. A girl was thrown in for a little while, and then she disappeared as mysteriously as she had come. Obviously she wasn't supposed to mean anything, an…ebooks/Engel, Lehman/Words with Music_ Creating the Broadway Musical Libretto - Lehman Engel.txt

- There is no calculable romance in seven (one third) of them: Ben Franklin in Paris, The Happy Time, Her First Roman, Darling of the Day, Marne, Dear World, and George M!

- Michael Rupert was a mere sixteen years of age when he portrayed Robert Goulet’s nephew in The Happy Time. Director-choreographer Gower Champion had originally chosen him for the chorus.

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.
