10 of these 42 names have a person record behind them and link to one. The other 32 are set from the identifier in the cast list, which is a slug of the name — so hyphens and full stops are lost and a few come out wrong. We hold nothing else about them. Nobody here is matched to a character: the cast list records who was in the company and not what they played.

A producer is one string on this record, however many people or companies it names. Directors and choreographers are held both as text and as identifiers; where an identifier exists the name links to a page.
Around this production
- Thanks to its worldwide reception, No, No, Nanette was probably the most popular musical of the Twenties. It was also the quintessential example of the kind of song-and-dance show of that period that was affectionately satirized in Sandy Wilson’s spoof, The Boy Friend. Broadway Musicals Show By Show Seventh Edition Stanley Green Cary Ginell, p. 54
- Vincent Youmans’ Hit the Deck! was second only to No, No, Nanette as the most popular of the composer’s 12 Broadway musicals. Broadway Musicals Show By Show Seventh Edition Stanley Green Cary Ginell, p. 65
- Donald Saddler won two Tony Awards for his choreography for Wonderful Town (1953) and the 1971 revival of No, No, Nanette. Complete Book of 1950s Broadway Musicals the Dan Dietz, p. 22
- He appeared in early tryout performances of First Impressions (1959) and No, No, Nanette (1971), but was succeeded by Christopher Hewett and Jack Gilford, respectively. Complete Book of 1950s Broadway Musicals the Dan Dietz, p. 888
- No, No, Nanette was produced and directed by H. H. Frazee, past owner of the Boston Red Sox. Frazee worked out a precedent-setting deal with his star, Louise Groody, who played the title character. She was the first star in Broadway history to receive a percentage of the box office in addition to a salary. Broadway Its History People and Places An Encyclopedia Bloom Ken 1949 2nd Ed New, p. 597
