Having not seen it, I can't say. There are, however, situations where someone other than the bookwriter (whether the original source or the director) has assumed the laboring oar, just as there are situations where an orchestrator gets a well thought out and fully formed score and is really just going through the paces, whereas there are other cases (take Mel Brooks as an example) where the task is quite a bit mire significant. In between there are cases where an orchestration makes a decent score into a monumental one. Not sure any of this relates to this particular show, but there are so many cases where credit is not always due where the opening night credits would suggest.
