It received its Broadway debut on November 6, 2003 when the Manhattan Theatre Club produced it as the first play in the renovated Biltmore Theatre. MTC's production had a cast featuring Robert Sean Leonard as Seavering and Cantone reprising his role as Gidger, and ran for 54 performances, the planned length of its subscription run. Both productions were directed by Evan Yionoulis.
