I think I've heard that Stritch was up for the role of Cleo, but I haven't heard anything more. I assume that even if Maslon said it was a high C, it wasn't. Cleo never sings a note anywhere near high C. It must have been the C an octave down from high C, which might have been a stretch for Stritch even then. B might have been about it for Stritch.
