Did You Know?

Trivia According to Michael Crawford, he auditioned for Gene Kelly in his hotel room. Kelly asked him if he knew any tap steps, and tried to coach him on some on top of the coffee table. Crawford tried to imitate him, but was so nervous at the idea of dancing with the famous dancer and choreographer that he kept messing up. He was convinced he'd failed the audition, when Kelly told him "What we're looking for is an attractive idiot: My wife thinks you're attractive, and I think you're an idiot!", telling him he'd gotten the part.
