Around this production

Director Paul Aaron (who had already been dismissed from 70, Girls, 70) was replaced by Alan Arkin after Michael Bennett, Morton Da Costa, and Burt Shevelove declined to take over.

I have never been able to walk out on Broadway musicals because something in my nice-Jewish-boy background told me that respect must be paid when the financial investment is so great. We are supposed to be embarrassed by such instincts, and I duly am, admitting them only now that 70, Girls, 70 had the negative power to overcome the near overwhelming strength of my conditioning.
