  • Actor Allusion: Sometimes so close as to verge on As Himself. Mikhail Baryshnikov, Leslie Browne and Daniel Levans (Arnold, the annoying choreographer) were all with American Ballet Theatre at the time, while James Mitchell (Michael) had danced with the company in the 1950s.
    • In addition, Leslie Browne is playing the daughter of a character based on her own mother, Isabel Brown.
  • What Could Have Been: Gelsey Kirkland, these days mentioned in almost the same breath as Pavlova and Fonteyn, was originally cast as Emilia.
