In February 1965, it was announced that Ben Franklin in Paris would transfer to another theatre on April 10 to make way for the highly anticipated Frank Loesser-Sam Spewack-Bob Fosse musical Pleasures and Palaces, which was to open at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on April 19. Then Pleasures and Palaces, which was in trouble during its pre-Broadway run at the Fisher in Detroit, postponed its Broadway opening to May 10, and an additional tryout run in Boston was scheduled. That postponement allowed Ben Franklin in Paris to remain in the Lunt-Fontanne till May 1. Soon, however, it was announced that Pleasures and Palaces would close down completely after the Detroit run ended on April 10, but Ben Franklin in Paris still ended up closing on May 1. Bajour was the next tenant the Lunt-Fontanne, re-opening there on May 10, having moved from the Shubert, where it was replaced by The Roar of the Greasepaint—The Smell of the Crowd.
