I was at the May 29th, 1990 Sunny Purchase Work Shop performance of Kiss Of The Spider Woman.  This was the a few days after (maybe right after) a theatre critic published an unfavorable review.  This caused a bit of a stir in the theatrical world, because this was a workshop and still a work in progress.  I remember that night hears members of the production team bemoan the fate of the production. If memory serves the workshop closed shortly thereafter.

Chita Rivera had not yet joined the cast and as I recall the Spider Woman was less of a character.
