I Do! I Do!

• Mary Martin

It was originally announced that Carol Lawrence and Gordon MacRae would start playing matinees on Wednesday, Oct. 11, 1967. This was delayed a week to Oct. 18, but their first performance was delayed three more days to Saturday, Oct. 21. According to a report in the New York Times, this was to allow MacRae the time to recover from a sprained ligament in his left leg. On Dec. 4, Lawrence and MacRae took over for all performances. Original stars Mary Martin and Robert Preston closed their run by playing a Sunday performance on Dec. 3, 1967, as a benefit for the Actors Fund.
