I was unaware of much of the information in your post so keep going as long as you feel like it as far as I am concerned. I realize my response to Bobby's post was knee jerk due to the fact that, to my knowledge, "star from another medium" was not as common at the time. It occurred but was not as common. Broadway theatre, as we all know, was different back then. Tourists were not as big a percentage of the audience mix so plugging in a cross medium star or celebrity, a Jean Stapleton or even Julie Andrews would not have extended the run. Of course, Andrews might have provided a catalyst for repeat visits but the probability of her involvement must have been close to nil.
