The musical opened in New York City, Billy Rose Theater for previews on February 7, with 20 preview performances.

Ming Cho Lee's Scenic Design for the stage musical's scenic color palette dictated the scenery to be painted in shades of gray. The musical was a flop - with only one performance. Clive Barnes, in his review in The New York Times, questioned whether the book (East of Eden) could be a viable musical as it was "too serious", but praised the sets by Ming Cho Lee and wrote that Paul Rogers had a "stong singing voice" and was dignified.
- (1966) He acted in Frank D. Gilroy's play, "The Subject was Roses," at the Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn, New Jersey with Maureen O'Sullivan and Chester Morris in the cast. Paul Leaf was director.
