At that time, he had no idea that the Quad tours were coming up.  Actually 
I'm under the impression that this tour set up Quad.  He did some songs from 
it that hadn't been heard for a while.

I was kind of under the impression that he was doing that in part to get the 
music scored for orthestra and entrenched into a traditional system, but I 
guess it would pay well.  Any idea how much a successful Broadway show would 
make for the author?
