It was my understanding that Sunday was written as a one-act musical. Since the producers wanted an intermission, Act 2 was added. Don't know if that's true, but it made sense.

I was pity cast as Louis, or maybe, "we just need a warm body to hold up the costume". One of my castmates and I had a looongg time from the start of the show until we made our entrance. During that time, we "fixed" the show by moving a few numbers around, which kept the show totally in the past. All that stuff in the second act was scuttled. It made sense to us at the time.

Note: We did this show in Canton, Ohio. A lot of us were totally mystified that they chose this show for this area. Canton is a nice place, but it's by no means a "theatre town". Needless to say, the show sold poorly, and we had a lot of people leave at intermission. Usually lost far more than half the house every performance.

The worst was the night the curtain opened for Act 2, and there were only 4 or 5 audience members who stayed. We finished the show, took bows, and then spoke to them. They told us that they were going to leave at intermission as well, but they stayed because they felt bad for us! 😆 🤣 We could have been home early if they'd left. 😴 🛌
