Interview with Bernadette Peters in Playbill Online: “”I was talking to him about something else, and then he said, ‘By the way, did they ever call you about replacing Catherine [Zeta-Jones] in A Little Night Music?’ I said, ‘No.’ He said, ‘Really . . . because I think you’d be great in that role.’ So the next day, Richard Frankel, the producer, called my agent, and the ball got rolling. And then I found out they were talking to Elaine [Stritch], which I also thought was a great idea, and I said, ‘Oh, well, I’m on board if Elaine’s going to do it!’”"
