The production was originally announced as playing just a week — September 3-8, 1973 — but the run was extended to two weeks.
Irwin Pearl was hired to play Leonard Marx (Chico), which he had created in the original Broadway production, but for unknown reasons he was replaced before opening by Peter Riegert. The playbills had already been printed with Pearl's name, so the replacement was noted with an insert.
In addition, Tony Aylward replaced Charles Murphy in the roles of Hockmeister, Sidebark and Robwell, with Murphy listed in the playbill, and Aylward listed in an insert. We do not know if the replacement occurred before the first performance or during the run.
