I have often wondered if after the scene outside Jefferson's rooms might be a better place for the intermission than after "Momma Looks Sharp." There just really isn't a great place for an intermission no matter where you put it, which is usually the case for plays and musicals that were originally performed without intermissions (or they would have been originally performed with intermissions).
I did a bit of searching in the ProQuest database and I found this from the Daily News of November 28, 1967. It appeared in Robert Sylvester's "Dream Street" column:
"The most tactful management in town must be at the ANTA Theatre, where 'Man of La Mancha' plays. Each night before the curtain time the following announcement is made: 'The show will be performed without intermission. Telephones are available in the rest rooms if you wish to call your baby sitter now." |
