"Cariou and Lansbury did the show for more than a year before they left in March 1980, so producers probably realized it only had a little longer in it after they left (and in fact it did close just 3 months later, in June of that year)."
One thing the producers did not count on was a NYC transit strike that began on April 1, 1980 and lasted for 11 days. That was back in the day when a greater percentage of locals filled the theaters than do today (or did until a year ago). The strike pretty much took the wind out of the sails of any momentum that might have been generated by the recasting. |
