According to what I've read, the reviews weren't bad at all. (I was 16 at the time, but I don't actually recall the reviews now.). The show's problem, like so many in the Sixties, was that it was seriously undercapitalized. Expenses out of town ran high (a principal actor had to be replaced), and the show came to Broadway with virtually nothing in the till and no advance sale. Apparently most people who saw it liked it, but the money ran out before word of mouth had time to build, and so the show closed quickly. |
