and weird and misleading, and also completely unnecessary.
It’s every bit as “misleading” as if Pasek & Paul’s next Broadway musical had their bio as “songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (Dear Evan Hansen, A Strange Loop)” just because they were producers of it, or if Mariah Carey brought her holiday show to Broadway and it said “from singer-songwriter Mariah Carey (All I Want for Christmas Is You, Some Like It Hot)” because she was a co-producer of that one.
This isn’t gilding a resumé for a job interview- it’s selling something to the public. And if you don’t have enough credits of your own to stand on, don’t imply that you had more to do with the creation of something than you actually did. That simple. But he does have enough credits, which makes this an even stranger situation. |
