Additional Musical Numbers Lists

The first preview had been scheduled for February 12, 2015, but it was postponed till the following day because one or two rehearsals had been canceled due to the blizzard that had been expected to hit New York City on Monday, January 26. In the end, snowfall was far less than expected, and the shutdown of mass transit that had been ordered was probably unncessary.

The production's opening night was postponed from the originally scheduled March 12 to March 15 because Peter Gallagher, playing the leading role of Oscar Jaffee, was ill for much of the preview period and missed a number of performances.
