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 reason the two composers shared the assignment is that Romberg could not undertake it alone because he was then also creating the music for The New Moon. Though he was occupied with Funny Face at the time, Gershwin agreed to join the project to help relieve the work load. The 1936 movie version, with Eleanor Powell and Nelson Eddy, sc…ebooks/Green, Stanley/Broadway Musicals, Show By Show - Seventh Edition - Stanley Green & Cary Ginell.txt
- The New Moon had to endure a tryout so disastrous that it was shut down completely while extensive alterations were made to the story, the score, and the cast. (Part of the problem was that both Sigmund Romberg and Oscar Hammerstein had to devote much of their time to other shows then in preparation: Romberg had Rosalie and Hammerstein ha…ebooks/Green, Stanley/Broadway Musicals, Show By Show - Seventh Edition - Stanley Green & Cary Ginell.txt
- What kept audiences happy was, in fact, delibelirately designed as the successor to the same writers’ Desert Song, with a similar improbably heroic tale loosely based on fact accompanied by a lush, pulse-pounding score. The story takes place in New Orleans in 1788, where Robert Misson (Robert Halliday), a French nobleman wanted for murder…ebooks/Green, Stanley/Broadway Musicals, Show By Show - Seventh Edition - Stanley Green & Cary Ginell.txt
- Celebrated for his lush scores for operettas in exotic locales (The Desert Song, The New Moon), Sigmund Romberg joined with lyricist Dorothy Fields to recapture the vintage Currier and Ives charms found up in New York’s Central Park in the 1870s. The story, a combination of fact and fiction, deals with the efforts of John Matthews (Wilbur…ebooks/Green, Stanley/Broadway Musicals, Show By Show - Seventh Edition - Stanley Green & Cary Ginell.txt
- Or you know you’re at an operetta when, even in the New World, the atmosphere is exotically ethnic, as in The New Moon (1928), set in and around New Orleans at the time of the French Revolution, with a Romberg-Hammerstein score. Rose-Marie (1924) is even more exotic, in a mixture of strains from Indian and French to Canadian Mountie.

- The classic twenties operettas, from Blossom Time and The Student Prince through Rose-Marie and The Desert Song to The New Moon , hold the fringes of the repertory today. But Show Boat —a backstager about the Cotton Blossom ’s “floating show,” its people, and what happens to them in the outside world—is always with us.

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.
