"It is interesting that one would not be surprised that the orchestrator is not mentioned, even though the contribution may in some cases loom very large." Well, yes, but in the case of a new musical, I think it's generally considered that the writing of the songs and the book is a greater and more newsworthy contribution than the orchestrations. I do agree with the poster who suggested the reason why James Graham, the book writer of NEVERLAND, was not mentioned in the Times article is that he has very little name recognition in the U.S., but I guess I'd say the fact that he's a relatively low profile figure is in itself somewhat newsworthy.
