Rivera Verdon and that Chicago tour

Gwen Verdon, Chita Rivera, Jerry Orbach, and Mary McCarty all played the show in Los Angeles at LA Civic Light Opera

All of the above plus M. O'Haughey (not sure if he also did the LA run) also played the show at the Blackstone Theatre (now the Merle Reskin Theatre) in Chicago, IL.


There was some billing issue in one of those cities where Jerry Orbach ended up getting star billing with Verdon and Rivera's names appearing on the line under is.

I saw the L.A. production twice, also once in NY with Chita and once with Lenora Nemetz. In L.A. I sat next to a season subscriber who turned to me before curtain and said "So do you know what this show is about?". The show was so overshadowed by A CHORUS LINE that year that I can understand why no one would see it without stars--they probably hadn't heard of it.
