"Leading the cast as Peggy Sawyer is Meredith Patterson, who spent a year (from August 2001 to August 2002) playing the same role in the show's New York revival. In the process, she herself became the toast of Broadway. And no wonder. She has about her the virtually indescribable quality of a real star, a glowing presence that permeates every note she sings, every step she dances and every line she speaks."
