Re-Purposed Sitcom Writing

Mary Stone, Patty Lane and Marcia Brady meet awkward, eye-glass wearing schoolmates,

The Patty Duke Show 1965

"Lolita, My Love"



 Annette Ferra and Denise Nickerson were both cast in the musical "Lolita, My Love". It opened in Philadelphia in 1971, and at some point Annette was replaced by her understudy, Denise Nickerson. The show flopped before opening on Broadway.



They did not change the photo on the lobby card when Nickerson joined the show.
