Broadway Typos

Many years ago, I remember that the A-B-C Directory of Broadway Plays had a typo in its listing of BAREFOOT IN THE PARK. It showed up as BAREFOOT IN THE DARK, which isn't a bad title for another play.

I was wondering how many titles could be changed by one or two typographical errors?

For starters:

ARSENIC AND OLD LICE

JERSEY GOYS

LEGALLY BLIND

SALE OF TWO TITTIES

THE OLD COUPLE

LIFE WITH FEATHER

THE POUND OF MUSIC

Okay, now what can you come up with?

That is totally what I thought the title of the play was when I first heard about it.
