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.

In the literature3 passages

• That book writer/lyricist David Lindsay-Abaire and composer Jeanine Tesori slavishly followed the film’s template made it seem a little dull. Once again, Shrek was an ogre whose lack of looks made people fearful of him, which made him rationalize that he didn’t need anyone or anything.Strippers, Showgirls, and Sharks - Peter Filichia

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, most often because the person was a writer, composer or designer rather than a performer.
• Which of the credits above the roles on this record (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.
