concurrent with the broadway production, the producers sent out 11 touring companies that performed in 214 cities. the amateur rights to "life with father" were released in 1948, and the following year saw 187 productions of the play, including a production at theatre in the round players that included consultation with warner films on staging. the only major new york revival occurred in 1967 in a limited run at city center, starring leon ames and dorothy stickney. critic vincent canby called the revival "a quaint, pretty picture postcard." although professional revivals are now rare, "life with father" continues to be produced by amateur companies such as the american century theatre in virginia (2009) and the victorian players in ohio (2014).
