The Freaking Out of Stephanie Blake is a 1967 stage comedy which starred Jean Arthur and was produced by Cheryl Crawford.
It was announced that Jean Arthur would appear on Broadway in the comedy The Freaking Out of Stephanie Blake in October 1967.
[1] Director John Hancock quit during rehearsals after an argument with Chandler and was replaced by Crawford, and then Michael Kahn.
[2] Jean Arthur (who had $50,000 of her own money in the production) collapsed upon making her initial entrance during the third preview performance on November 1, informing the audience that she could not continue.
The show was scheduled to officially open on November 4, 1967, but it was announced that Arthur "had taken ill", and Crawford said "it was 'possible that the whole thing will have to be abandoned'".
