Busy Clayburgh spent the previous year starring in A Naked Girl on the Appian Way, Barefoot in the Park and The Busy World Is Hushed. Brown won a Tony Award for her work in Copenhagen and has been seen at Lincoln Center in Arcadia.

Aspillaga was seen on Broadway in Anna in the Tropics. Dossett's many theatre credits include Gypsy, Dinner at Eight and Mamma Mia!. Tomei has acted on Broadway in The Elephant Man, Noises Off and Goodbye Fidel.
