Victor Young

On stage 7 productions, 24 years

Each row is a staging this name appears in the cast list of, read from the production record rather than from the person record. The person record names works instead, and a work cannot say which run somebody was in — that is how Elaine Stritch ends up filed under Show Boat 1927 when she was in the 1994 revival. No row here says what part was played, because no cast list records it.

Worked with more than once9 names

Both names in the same cast list, more than once. It is not evidence of a partnership — a long-running company puts the same forty people together every night — but it is where one would start looking. 8 of these names are not links because we hold no record behind them; the name is set from the identifier and its punctuation may be wrong.

Around the World
Pardon Our French
Seventh Heaven

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.

• The light began to dawn when I ran into Victor Young. He was a Hungarian composer, a cocky little guy with a big cigar. He was famous in Hollywood. Well, he wrote “Tea for Two,” for instance, so his musical gifts were never in doubt. He was at Paramount, but I used him now and then, as I used Loesser. He came over and conducted his own st…ebooks/Feuer, Cy/B003L77WUK EBOK - Cy Feuer & Ken Gross.txt
• It was something that I had secretly suspected and feared. The other guys, like Victor Young, Styne, Loesser, and George Antheil had a different ear. They heard the music before they wrote it down. That was their secret. The music was already inside their heads. They heard it. But I had to put it down on paper first. I couldn’t hear it in…ebooks/Feuer, Cy/B003L77WUK EBOK - Cy Feuer & Ken Gross.txt
• In passing, “Music in the Movies” mentions a veritable “who’s who” of other musicians associated with the medium, from Erich Korngold to Victor Young. 68 Among “outstanding contemporary composers” Weill further lists Milhaud, Honegger, Auric, Copland, Antheil, Janssen, Herrmann, Tansman, and Toch.

• You see the problem. Certainly, the authors of Seventh Heaven the musical (1955) did. Victor Wolfson and Stella Unger (book), Victor Young (music), and Unger (lyrics) apparently tried to give the tale a modern edge. For starters, Chico took on an almost belligerent personality, and Diane, formerly a homeless kid on the grift, was now a pr…ebooks/Mordden, Ethan/B0035RP5R8 EBOK - Ethan Mordden.txt

What this page does not know

• What this person played. No cast list we hold records a character against a performer.
• 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.
