No No NanetteNo, No, Nanette is a Broadway musical first produced in 1925 by H.H Frazee, who financed the production, at least in part, by selling baseball superstar Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees five years earlier (Frazee owned the Boston Red Sox at the time). The lyrics are by Irving Caesar and Otto Harbach, with music by Vincent Youmans. The songs include the well-known "Tea for Two" and "I Want to Be Happy". It was later made into a film starring Doris Day. There was a notable revival on Broadway in 1971, with the book adapted by Burt Shevelove, and starring Helen Gallagher, Jack Gilford, Patsy Kelly, Ruby Keeler, and Bobby Van.
