| I loved that revival of Brighton Beach Memoirs, and eagerly looked forward to seeing Cromer's take on Broadway Bound. It broke my heart that his production never got to see the light of day. | |

| It was a rare case for me of preferring a revival to an original. And while I think that would have been less likely with Broadway Bound, that original production did have its problems, as well as greatness, so perhaps I would have. I didn't even like Brighton Beach Memoirs as a play in the original production, at least not with the original cast. There were some interesting replacements. But the Cromer production was so good that I liked it more. Oddly, it was reported that Metcalf did not like working with Cromer. |

| I also heard from a fairly reliable source that Metcalf was unhappy working on the Simon plays. Her rapport with Cromer was one factor. I was told another factor was her relationship with Dennis Boutsikaris. Apparently, during their long history of frequently working together, there has been on again/off again romantic involvement. When they signed on to the Simon plays, it was on again; as the process continued, it careened to off again. | |

| Quite likely. He appeared off-Broadway with her in The Other Place, but was replaced by Daniel Stern and then Bill Pullman two seasons later when MTC produced the play on Broadway. (Still my favorite performance of hers, for what it’s worth) | |

| Metcalf, Fontana, and especially Robbins were really sensational. Maybe I'm naive, but I really think it could found its audience had it been given more of a chance to run. But, as someone sang in a DIFFERENT Ziemba show, "It's a business!" | |
