I don't think she performed very much after it moved to Broadway. Murphy was great at Encores. Ms. Muggleston went on quite a bit for an extended time once it moved to Broadway, but unfortunately the producers kept Ms. Murphy's illness very hush-hush at the time, very much affecting her performance reputation for a whle. If it was some other sort of illness affecting her energy, that's one thing. But Ruth Sherwood was written for a less than one octave range singer, Rosalind Russell; it's not exactly Cunegonde or Eliza Doolittle, where I could see singers with unsound vocal technique causing vocal damage to themselves.
