that Billie Hayes later became available to go into Li'l Abner at the start of the Broadway run, and they tried to buy out Charlotte Rae's contract, but Miss Rae refused. True?

If that happened, I would think it would have been a few weeks after Li'l Abner opened on Broadway as New Faces continued to run for five weeks or so after Abner opened, unless Leonard Sillman decided to let Hayes out of her contract earlier. I think that I've heard a story like that, but I don't know if it's true.
