Does anyone know who did the orchestrations that were thrown out and replaced with those by Harold Wheeler while the show was in previews in Boston?

Thanks to Steven Suskin's new (fabulous) book "The Sound of Broadway Music" -- I now know this!

Michael Gibson's charts were replaced by Harold Wheeler.

Thank you stagescreen! I have that book, I guess I just haven't come across that info yet. Much appreciated.

And for those who don't know... Harold Wheeler is the musical director/conductor of ABC TV's DANCING WTH THE STARS.
