Please Don't Eat the Daisies, according to press notes, "brings to life Jean Kerr's smart, powerful alter-ego, Helen Mackay. Helen is anything but the typical 1960s housewife and mother of four boys. When Helen pens a best-selling play about her family, she becomes the toast of New York. Marital complications arise as her fame begins to eclipse that of her husband Charles, the newly anointed lead theatre critic for the Times."

The creative team also includes musical director Larry Yurman, associate musical director Paul Staroba, choreographer Denis Jones and associate director Diana Baffa-Brill. Jenny Slattery is stage manager, Jim Athens is production stage manager, and Thomas Recktenwald is assistant stage manager.

  The Hilton Theatre Rehearsal Studios are located in Manhattan at 214 West 43rd Street.
