As far as I know, the first production that included it was the Donmar Warehouse production, which opened in December 1995. It was not in the Roundabout production that opened a few months earlier, which did nonetheless include a slight (and stupid) change at the end of the scene. Rather than Marta saying “This is why I love New York,” Robert says to Marta, “I know. This is why you love New York,” and Marta shoots a fist and says, “Yes!”
I have read, although I can't remember where at the moment, that Furth wrote the part of the scene where Peter and Robert are alone for the original production but it wasn't included. |
