The musical premiered on Broadway on April 8, 1970 at the Broadhurst Theatre, where it ran for only nine performances and eighteen previews. Directed by Marre, conductor Herbert Grossman served as Music Director. The cast included Joan Diener as Kathleen Stanton, Helen Gallagher as Bessie, Tommy Rall as Boyle, Steve Arlen as Matt Stanton, Dolores Wilson, Paul Ukena, and Robert Weede. In his review for "Women's Wear Daily", Martin Gottfried wrote that the score was not "reflective of its time and place" but that Leigh's music was "inventive, rhythmically interesting and very singable."
