He is known for writing the music and lyrics to Broadway musicals, including ''Nine'' in 1982, and ''Titanic'' in 1997, both of which won Tony Awards for best musical and best score.

Yeston also wrote a significant amount of the music and most of the lyrics to the Tony-nominated musical ''Grand Hotel'' in 1989, which was nominated for best score. His musical version of the novel ''The Phantom of the Opera'' called ''Phantom'' (not to be confused with Andrew Lloyd Webber's version) has enjoyed numerous productions in the U.S. and around the world. He has also written a number of other Off-Broadway musicals, including ''Death Takes a Holiday''; a song cycle entitled'' December Songs''; a choral symphony; a Cello Concerto; and other pieces. Yeston serves on the Board of the Songwriters Hall of Fame. He is also President of the Kleban Foundation, serves on the editorial boards of ''Musical Quarterly'' and the Kurt Weill Foundation Publication Project and on the advisory board of the Yale University Press Broadway Series.
