Trivia & History

The Broadway opening was originally scheduled for March 26, 1964, but a week after the tryout opened in Philadelphia, it was announced that the opening would be delayed till April 1. Then after Henry Lascoe had to leave the cast because he'd had a heart attack and he was replaced by Gabriel Dell, the opening was delayed again, this time to April 4, in order to give Dell more rehearsal time (or so press reports stated).
