That production was directed by Harold Prince, choreographed by Patricia Birch, and featured Hermione Gingold as 'Madame Armfeldt' and Glynis Johns as 'Desiree.' It garnered six Tony Awards including Best Musical and Best Original Score.

The musical opened to good notices from the popular press: "Delicious production." (Guardian); "At its finest Nunn's production has needle-sharp poignancy."
