It had been announced that the pre-Broadway tryout would start on May 20, 1943, at the Shubert in New Haven, where a three-day run through May 22 was planned, and that the production would then move to the Shubert in Boston and open there on Monday, May 24. (A pre-Broadway tryout starting with a split-week at the Shubert in New Haven was common at the time.) But the New Haven run was canceled, and the tryout started in Boston on May 24.
