Trivia & History

The tour closed somewhat suddenly on a return visit to Boston, where it was supposed to play a four-week run from July 10, 1972 through August 5. Depiste good reviews on this return, the production shut down after one week. The tour was probably going to soon close in any case, having played for 27 months at this point.
