* Terence Booth initially played the role of Quentin during the UK tour, but due to ill-health he had to step down from the role shortly after the tour began. His part was initially taken by the understudy Peter Halpin before Bill Champion took over for the remainder of the tour and, subsequently, the season at the 59E59 Theaters, New York.
