"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

It was also revived at City Center in the 1960s, with Constance Towers as Maria. For reasons I really don't understand, ibdb doesn't count most of the City Center productions of the1950s and 1960s as Broadway productions even though Variety and the Best Plays annuals both considered them Broadway productions.
And though not Broadway, it also received a major full-scale staging at City Opera in 1990, with Debby Boone as Maria.
