I saw it in Ann Arbor, MI. Of course, my memory is cloudy. I knew the cast album and the singing and comedy on the tour were fine. The set, as I remember, seemed like a flat rendering of the New York set, at least judging from photos of the NYC set, as I did not see that production.

I'm linking the New York Public Library's digital gallery. If you do a search on Company Swope, many color photos of the original production (with both the original cast and with replacements) can be seen, and you can also see some photos of the tour (ditto, both original cast and replacements).

Some photos of other shows will also come up but in the first 100 photographs on the page, it will be mostly Company Then it switches to being mostly Annie. If you keep scrolling all the way down, you get to a link to page 2, which also does have some Company photographs, but most of those are repeats of what's on page 1 (though I think there are two or three that aren't on page 1).

Some of the photos of the original cast document staging and set pieces that were gone by opening night on Broadway.

I agree! Thanks for the link, Alan.

Interesting to see the three different costumes Stritch wore playing "Joanne."

Never realized Priscilla Lopez played Kathy; I saw Donna McKechnie when the show opened in LA, and Carolyn Kirsch during the last week.
