The musical comedy originally opened on Broadway in 1961 and ran for 1,417 performances. A stage revival, starring Matthew Broderick and Megan Mullally, was mounted in 1995 and ran for 548 performances. More recently, a 50th anniversary revival opened in 2011 and starred Daniel Radcliffe of Harry Potter fame and then Nick Jonas (of the Jonas Brothers), before it closed last May.
