A Teaspoon Every Four Hours is a comedy play written by Jackie Mason and Mike Mortman which was produced on Broadway in 1969.[1] The play set a Broadway record by having 97 previews before its official opening.[2] After its official opening, A Teaspoon Every Four Hours closed after only one performance.[3]

The play became the subject of public attention once again in 2011, when the musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark announced a delay to its official opening, which eventually resulted in its breaking A Teaspoon Every Four Hours′ record for the most previews ever by a Broadway show which officially opened.[4][5] (In 1976, the sexually themed musical revue Let My People Come played 128 performances but never officially opened.[4][6])
