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.

Although it was succeeded by a number of revues featuring black music and performers (Eubie, Ain't Misbehavin', Bubbling Brown Sugar) The Wiz didn't spawn successful imitations. The closest successor, six years later, was Dreamgirls, but that was conceived, written, and directed by white me…ebooks/Engel, Lehman/Words with Music_ Creating the Broadway Musical Libretto - Lehman Engel.txt
- In the decade after Purlie, twenty musicals with black appeal opened, including such long-running Tony winners as Raisin, The Wiz, and Ain’t Misbehavin’. Don’t Bother Me, I Can’t Cope, Me and Bessie, andebooks/Filichia, Peter/B007L4OWCU EBOK - Peter Filichia.txt

- Such violations abounded in Charles Small’s score for The Wiz , too. And yet, this was the same season that Jerry Herman was denied his Best Score nomination for Mack & Mabel at the expense of these two nominees.ebooks/Filichia, Peter/Strippers, Showgirls, and Sharks - Peter Filichia.txt
- That Chicago didn’t open until the 1975–1976 season certainly cost it plenty of Tonys, including Best Musical; it would have easily beaten The Wiz . A few wins might have helped it run more than 936 performances, too.ebooks/Filichia, Peter/Strippers, Showgirls, and Sharks - Peter Filichia.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.
- 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.
