Since IBDB is down...Broadway Productions of THREE DAYS OF RAIN?#1

I need to know the Broadway production history of THREE DAYS OF RAIN by tomorrow morning. In the words of Max Bialystock..."HHEEEEEEEEEEELLLPP MEEEEE!"

Need to know years, famous actors who played the characters, and directors.

Thanks in advance!

"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."

Julia Roberts was in it at one time, I think...

I'm not sure if anyone went to see it, though

The only NY stage production of the play prior to the recent Broadway one with Julia Roberts, was the original off-Broadway one at MTC a decade ago with Patricia Clarkson, Brad Whitford and John Slattery.

Oh, and, FYI, the Broadway production was directed by Joe Mantello and co-starred Paul Rudd and Bradley Cooper.
