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.

- Nor was it possible to treat gay issues without acknowledging tragic possibilities. In 1980 William Finn and James Lapine's March of the Falsettos, which began with a quartet entitled "Four Jews in a Room Bitching" told the story of a bisexual who leaves his wife and child for another man but, amazingly, does so without creating any bitte…ebooks/Engel, Lehman/Words with Music_ Creating the Broadway Musical Libretto - Lehman Engel.txt
- Then there was William Finn's The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. Admittedly I came to it with unreasonable expectations, having been so taken with the film Spellbound, which dramatized the stories of the contestants in the national spelling bee, many of them immigrants, so artfully that one felt one was watching something epic.

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, lyricist, 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.
