Trivia: A photo is shown of Ms. Kraft (Bebe Neuwirth) with Broadway stage legend, Chita Rivera. Rivera notably played the role of Velma Kelly in the original 1975 Broadway production of “Chicago”. Neuwirth also played Velma Kelly when “Chicago” was revived on Broadway in 1996. Both actresses received Tony Award nominations for their portrayals of the same character. Neuwirth went on to win the honor.
 

Goofs: Factual errors: Mr. Cranston asks Denise to be the accompanist for the school’s upcoming production of “Chicago”. In the year 2009, this would not be possible since the licensing company which handles the theatrical rights for “Chicago” restricts the show from being produced (even by amateur groups and schools) anywhere in the greater New York area while there is an open-ended production running on Broadway.
