The Gingerbread Lady Vivien Merchant, Kevin Lindsay, Stephen Greif and Jenny Quayle in support. The production belatedly transferred to the Phoenix Theatre in London's West End on October 23, with Merchant and Greif replaced by Sarah Marshall and Blain Fairman. Like the Broadway version, this one ran for just over five months. The play was revived by the Equity Library Theater (New York City) in 1987. A major departure from Simon's previous lighthearted plays, "The Gingerbread Lady" was a dark drama with comic overtones centering on Evy Meara, a cabaret singer whose career, marriage, and health all have been destroyed by alcohol.
