From Barbara Cook's memoir, "Then and Now,"

"As Music Man settled into a standing-room-only hit, I became pregnant. Deliberately so. As soon as David and I started trying, I became pregnant. We were both incredibly excited and I left the show in July of 1959 when I was about five months pregnant and really starting to show. The funny thing is that I don’t remember my last performance in the show at all; I guess I was so happy about being pregnant that everything else receded."

I can't give you the page number because I have it as a Kindle book.

News reports at the time stated that Arlyne Frank took over on June 23, 1959. She was originally announced to take over on June 29, but I think perhaps Frank took over six days early because Cook was showing so much by then that Frank took over as soon as she was ready.
