Of the 603 productions we hold that opened in the 1960s and record a performance count, this is the 480th longest. That is a rank within what we hold, not within everything that was staged.
Who was in it3 named
Carl Harms
2 of these 3 names have a person record behind them and link to one. The other 1 are set from the identifier in the cast list, which is a slug of the name — so hyphens and full stops are lost and a few come out wrong. We hold nothing else about them. Nobody here is matched to a character: the cast list records who was in the company and not what they played.

- Gerald Freedman
A producer is one string on this record, however many people or companies it names. Directors and choreographers are held both as text and as identifiers; where an identifier exists the name links to a page.
Recordings 2 held for the work
None of these is attributed to this staging. They are filed against Man in the Moon, and nothing in the record says which production any of them documents. Closing that join is the point of this catalogue and it is not closed yet.
Around this production
This was an unusual Bock and Harnick project — a marionette musical for adults performed by the legendary Bil Baird puppeteers. It closed after 7 performances but demonstrated the versatility of the songwriters who would soon create Fiddler on the Roof.
