And I will juat add that the original director, fired shortly into rehearsals, was Lucia Victor, Gower Champion's assistant who helped keep Hello, Dolly! in shape over its run. She was replaced by Peter Glenville, who could not stay with it because he had another commitment but agreed to be the interim director to get it ready to open in Boston. Then Joe Layton came in. Gene Saks was also reportedly approached to take over from Glenville. |
