* StarMakingRole: Sutton Foster was a struggling actress, only really known among fans of ''Theatre/{{Grease}}'' and ''Theatre/LesMiserables'' for her national tour portrayals of Sandy and Éponine. But then Creator/KristinChenoweth, who was originally cast as Millie, had to bow out, and Erin Dilly, who initially replaced her, left due to conflict with the creative team. Foster took on the role for the Broadway opening, which made the show a hit, won her the Tony and launched Foster into one of the most successful actresses on Broadway (over the next decade, she'd earn five more Tony noms with another win in 2011).

* UnfortunateImplications: Mrs Meers and the Chinese white slavery ring. The stage version tries to avoid this by having Mrs. Meers be an American actress who is unaware of how over the top and stereotypical she is, while the real Chinese characters are annoyed by it. Unfortunately, the "real" Chinese characters (Bun Foo and Ching Ho) are pretty stereotypical themselves, especially with the "Chinese" they speak.
