Trivia & History

After the Broadway production closed, the entire production and cast were booked for a two week run at the Carter Barron Amphitheatre in Washington, DC. Originally, it was intended to finish the DC engagement and move on to runs in Pittsburgh and Chicago. Those plans were scrapped and the producers announced hopes to reopen the show at the Alvin Theatre again following DC. On July 30, 1954, however, the plans were cancelled for unknown reasons.
