The Music Fair tour was after the national tour closed, restaged by a different director, with a lot but not all of the same cast. For more info, see link (and from there, you can click to fuller cast and staff lists). Having said that, one thing I've found in the last couple of years is that there were stock tours that played both in the round and proscenium, sometimes going back and forth from one week to the next more than once during a tour. I can't imagine how that would work, it must have been very scary sometimes, but I guess they found ways. That much-discussed 1973 stock tour of Follies was one of the tours that did that. I've come across others that did that, such as a 1964 tour of My Fair Lady with the somewhat surprising husband-and-wife pairing of Allyn McLerie and George Gaynes as Eliza and Higgins.
