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.

- It has been suggested to me and quite correctly that romance without feeling gives us Vincent Youmans and feeling without romance gives us Harold Pinter. But feeling is the first and most important element.ebooks/Engel, Lehman/Words with Music_ Creating the Broadway Musical Libretto - Lehman Engel.txt
- Vincent Youmans’ Hit the Deck! was second only to No, No, Nanette as the most popular of the composer’s 12 Broadway musicals. Based on the 1922 play Shore Leave, the show was about a Newport, Rhode Island, coffee-shop owner known as Looloo (Louise Groody, the previous Nanette), who is so totally smitten with sailor Bilge Smith (Charles Ki…ebooks/Green, Stanley/Broadway Musicals, Show By Show - Seventh Edition - Stanley Green & Cary Ginell.txt
- An initial pair of producers intended to musicalize Lost Horizon by using unpublished songs from the trunk of the late Vincent Youmans and wanted Walter Kerr (who later panned the show) to direct. The second pair of producers hired Harry Warren, the veteran film composer, to write the music to lyrics by Lawrence and Lee. Shangri-La was an…ebooks/Mandelbaum, Ken/Not Since Carrie_ Forty Years of Broadway Musical Flops - Ken Mandelbaum.txt
- Still, one set per act made everything easier, especially in three-act pieces. The classic thus is No, No, Nanette (1925), with a score composed by Vincent Youmans to the lyrics of Irving Caesar and Otto Harbach and a book by Harbach and Frank Mandel.

- This brings us to just about 1920, when Kern, Berlin, Cole Porter, and Hirsch are joined by Vincent Youmans, the Gershwins, Rodgers and Hart, and De Sylva, Brown, and Henderson, as the Golden Age takes wing. A bit of backtracking, now, with another elusive item, Early Kern (Shadowland).

- * Caldwell at her best is deft and delightful, but her hit tunes—“Ka-lu-a,” “I Know That You Know” (written with Vincent Youmans)—faded early on, and none of her shows achieved classic status. Then, too, it took one generation after Caldwell for the veteran Dorothy Fields and the newcomer Betty Comden to promote the notion of women writer…ebooks/Mordden, Ethan/Anything Goes_ A History of American Musical Theatre - 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 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.
- 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.
