Comments
This touring production played Chicago's Shubert (now CIBC) and Blackstone (now Merle Reskin) Theatres from October 1969 through January 1971, before continuing on the road. The March 1971 engagement at Cleveland's Hanna Theatre is often conflated as the first week of a brand new tour, however it is indeed part of this touring production.
