Reply to comment by Senninha27 in TIL the Pacific island nation of Nauru has been so damaged by phosphate mining that in 1964 Australia offered to repopulate the entire nation to Curtis Island near the Australian Coast. Nauru refused the offer in order to maintain their sovereignty and not become part of Australia. by triviafrenzy

Well, what could you expect with Bea Arthur and Jack Klugman headlining. They say their premier performances killed. Yes they did, they murdered legitimate theatre that night!

The Wikipedia article says "The cast included Paul Collis, Jane Arden, James Barron, Hal Fowler and Rebecca Pearce." I'm a little curious about where you got the idea Bea Arthur and Jack Klugman were in it?

That’s probably why Sweeny Todd with Ruth Buzzy and Brian Dennehy opened and closed the same night. Heads rolled that night.
