• Song list based on the closing version, Albany, NY.
• Following the close of W.C. after its summer tryouts, it was planned to close the show for rewrites and reopen in October at the Fisher Theatre, Detroit, prior to a late November Broadway opening. While it did close for rewrites it never reopened.
• W.C. would have been Mickey Rooney's Broadway debut. Because of the premature closing, Rooney didn't star in a Broadway show until Sugar Babies (1979).
