Stories from the set

According to Christine Baranski, the creators of the series managed to attract so many Broadway stars to the project's cast (including Audra McDonald, Nathan Lane, Donna Murphy, Kelli O'Hara, Linda Emond, Katie Finneran, Bill Irwin, Michael Cerveris, Debra Monk, Patrick Page, Celia Keenan-Bolger, Kristine Nielsen, and others) because Broadway theaters were closed in March 2020 due to the pandemic.

According to Dave Itzkoff, by the end of filming Carrie Coon was nine months pregnant, and at some point she found that she could no longer wear a corset.
