* ActorInspiredElement: The reason "Send in the Clowns" has only four syllables to a line was because Sondheim thought Glynnis Johns had trouble sustaining notes, so Sondheim worked around it.

* BillingDisplacement - On a fairly regular basis, including both Broadway productions, the actress playing Madame Armfeldt gets top billing alongside the leads (Desiree and Fredrik), despite not having nearly as large a part. In particular, the recent revival gave Angela Lansbury higher billing than Alexander Hanson, who played Fredrik, because... well, because she's Creator/AngelaLansbury.
* CutSong
** "Bang!", an alternate introductory song for Carl-Magnus, replaced with "In Praise of Women" because director Hal Prince needed a scene change during the song
** "My Husband the Pig", a brief alternate lead-in to "Every Day A Little Death"
** A third Night Waltz
** "Two Fairy Tales", a DistantDuet for Henrik and Anne
** "Silly People," sung by Frid, cut because nobody knew nor cared who Frid was
* LifeImitatesArt - Victoria Mallory and Len Cariou, the actors for Anne and Frederik, were dating when the original production opened. When it closed, Victoria Mallory ran away with Mark Lambert, Henrik's actor. Their daughter, Ramona Mallory, played Anne in the 2009 Broadway revival. [[note]]It is perhaps worth noting that though their characters were 18 and 40something, respectively, Mallory and Cariou were themselves 24 and 34 during the run, not nearly so unusual an age gap.[[/note]]
