Looking back ten years ago this week- one of the most successful replacement casts ever!

Looking back ten years ago this week-  one of the most successful replacement casts ever! 

It's 10 years this week since one of the best reviewed and most surprisingly well-realized replacement pairs to follow a premium success: when Bernadette Peters and Elaine Stritch took over in the revival of "A Little Night Music." This was a tribute, the "overheard" negotiating with Stritch's agent - who was reported in the press to have been asking for extras that didn't exist ány more, even though Stritch really openly wanted to do the show. With real love for Ms. Stritch, a low-tech take on one of those silly hypothetical lists of supposed demands for things that hadn't existed in years - and she had said she was never going to turn the show down anyway.
