The Broadway run was preceded by a 13-month national tour.
The opening (and closing) performance of the Broadway run was a Sunday matinee.
The first stop on the long pre-Broadway tour was at the Hanna Theatre in Cleveland. There were supposed to be eight performances, but only five were played. Three were canceled when star Yul Brynner got laryngitis.
