| I put "uncredited" in parentheses because I'm pretty sure I remember someone who should know insisting to me that at least some of the script revisions to MERRILY were made by, but not credited to, Lapine -- rather than Furth -- either for or pursuant to the production he directed at the La Jolla Playhouse in 1985. Is that completely untrue? | |

| And it's possible that he did. He clearly made suggestions. I just think that Furth would be annoyed that people said that or thought that. Still, I suspect that Furth was not the type to let other writers actually write any dialogue for him, although he did sort of steal a line in Company from a Julius Monk revue, but he rephrased it, and perhaps did not remember where he had gotten it. |

| I seem to recall once upon a time that collaborator agreements usually only required a majority of collaborators to agree to changes, not all of them. I know on a musical that I am rewriting the book of , I needed just the consent of 2 of 3 book writers, but not composer (whose estate was elusive and still is - and we're talking a major composer)... | |
