This chapter examines the work of Maury Yeston. It begins with an extended commentary of his career, followed by details on productions, with data and song information. Yeston developed an early interest in musical theater. He graduated from Yale in 1967 with twin ambitions: to teach music and to write Broadway musicals. After getting his master’s degree at Cambridge, he returned to Yale for his doctorate in 1971 and simultaneously entered Lehman Engel’s BMI Workshop.
