Trivia & History

Initially, the performance schedule was Tuesday through Saturday evenings, with matinees on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. During previews, however, the production played no Wednesday matinees, and only one Saturday matinee, so it played 13 previews rather than the 16 it would have played had it played its full post-opening schedule during previews.

Three weeks into the post-opening run — beginning with the performance week that started on November 13, 1984 — the production switched to a schedule of Tuesday through Sunday evenings plus Saturday and Sunday matinees.
