The role of Vera in the original 1936 production of On Your Toes was created for Blanchine's wife, the famed Russian ballerina Tamara Geva, who apparently did not sing. The revivals in '54 and '83 kept the role as non-singing, casting Vera Zorina and Natalia Makarova. In a situation similar to Makarova's, Thomas Mitchell won the 1953 Tony as Best Actor in a Musical in a role that was also non-singing.
