It starred Mary Martin as Peter Pan and Cyril Ritchard as Captain Hook. Moose is also listed as the composer for the movie musical Hans Brinker, which starred Eleanor Parker (her singing voice was that of Charlap's wife, Sandy Stewart), and was based on the novel by Mary Mapes Dodge.

They also wrote the book and lyrics for On the Twentieth Century and the lyrics for The Will Rogers Follies, with Cy Coleman. Their many film musicals include Singin' in the Rain, The Band Wagon, On the Town, Bells are Ringing and It's Always Fair Weather.
