| The reviews were mixed, leaning a bit more negative than positive. It ran as long as it did thanks to good advance sale because of the author and the lead actors, which allowed it to survive the reviews and perhaps word of mouth was pretty good and/or the stars simply had sufficient drawing power as a team. If the play were by an unknown author and had lesser-known actors as the leads and had gotten similar reviews, it wouldn't have lasted long. I guess if audiences had generally disliked it, it wouldn't have run 11 months, but it closed a month after the leads were replaced by Keith Baxter and Karen Valentine. I think there was no tour. I don't remember it being especially popular in stock. By that time, summer stock was so greatly diminished. I imagine it got done some in community theatre and dinner theatre, but it didn't become a popular title. I think there's no possibility of a Broadway revival. For that matter, I think there's little possibility of a revival of Same Time, Next Year, except if the right pair of actors who could really bring in audiences wanted to do it, and then it might be produced for a limited run, as with Plaza Suite. |
