Notes

Following its successful run at Oldham, a heavily revised version of Girlfriends (in a recast production which did not include Maria Friedman) opened at the Playhouse Theatre in London's West End on 16 October 1987 but it received poor notices and subsequently closed after barely five weeks on 21 November 1987.
