| There was a photo in the souvenir program of William Ivey Long and the swings--each of which had their own individual costume. I believe the idea was that they could could go on for various roles in a costume just for them, though I am surprised that the Carla understudy did not have a duplicate of what became the shows signature look. | |

| Criswell did wear her own costume but then after complaints they hired somebody else to cover the role. | |

| Thank you for linking that article. Another major theatregoing disappointment was not seeing Elizabeth Ashley in Agnes of God. I guess I was fortunate, though, to see Carrie Fisher and only one of the two performances that Ashley missed! So the complaints about absenteeism go back at least to the 1980s. | |
