As per Wikipedia (so take that for what it's worth), the play opened at the Ahmanson in 1977 with Anita Gillette playing the role of Jennie. Gillette and the entire cast of the Ahmanson run then reprised their roles on Broadway.

I saw it a couple of times at the Ahmanson, and it was the same company as on Broadway. I'll have to check my programs to see if there were any inserts or indications of replacements.

According to Gillette in vol 4 of Untold Stories of Broadway, someone else played the role in LA. I guess she'd know 🙂

Interesting. Neither of the two references I consulted (Theatre World and The Best Plays), indicates any cast changes between L.A. and Broadway.
