These come off the person record, which names a work and not a production. So we can say this name is attached to the work and we cannot say which staging, or in what capacity. For a composer or a writer that is the whole career we hold; there is no cast list to find them in.
In the literature7 passages
- Jay Livingston and Ray Evans’s score was one of the era’s best, a slam-bang fandango of twenty-five separate old-fashioned song numbers, a wild potpourri of comic frolics, ballads, and dances. The songs cleverly delineate the characters, propel the plot forward, and provide a flavorsome and atmospheric background to the English and French…ebooks/Dietz, Dan/Complete Book of 1950s Broadway Musicals, The - Dan Dietz.txt
- Comparable to Bob Merrill was the team of Jay Livingston and Ray Evans, conveyors of Hollywood pop who, in Oh Captain! (1958), suddenly found themselves fashioning a pointed, storytelling score, and a rich one, too-eighteen numbers, not counting numerous reprises and dances.

- My single of Ray Evans and Jay Livingston’s song “Tammy” became a big hit and earned me a gold record. The song was in the Top 40 for twenty-three weeks, five of them at number one. It was nominated for an Academy Award as Best Song, but lost to “All the Way” from The Joker Is Wild .

- Composer Jerry Livingston—not to be confused with Jay Livingston, of Livingston and Evans—coauthored the 1943 hit “Mairzy Doats,” making him an eminently suitable choice to score this Bronx-based opus.

What this page does not know
- What this person played. No cast list we hold records a character against a performer.
- Any staging. This name appears in no production cast list we hold — 1,877 of 7,139 people are in that position, most of them writers, composers and designers rather than performers.
- Any portrait. 1,626 of 7,139 people have one, so this is the usual case rather than the exception.
- Which of the credits above the roles on this record — composer — apply to. The roles sit on the person and never on a credit, so a director who also acted looks the same here as one who did not.
