Alas, Elizabeth never had a long-running Broadway show. After this article, she was in ...
Children! Children! (opened and closed March 7, 1972; it was Gwen Verdon's one non-musical, and belatedly adapted into the movie Twisted)
I Remember Mama (May 31-Sept. 2, 1979; Richard Rodgers' last musical -- he died that December -- headlined by Liv Ullmann, but also with George Hearn and a pre-soap fame Kristen Vigard and Ian Ziering)
John Gabriel Borkman (Dec. 18, 1980-Feb. 8, 1981; Elizabeth was the standby for Irene Worth in this revival of an Ibsen drama; E.G. Marshall headlined)
Present Laughter (July 15, 1982-Jan. 2, 1983; Elizabeth played George C. Scott's wife in this Noel Coward revival George directed; the cast also included Kate Burton, Christine Lahti, Jim Piddock, and, making his Broadway debut, Nathan Lane)
Dance a Little Closer (opened and closed May 11, 1983; Alan Jay Lerner's last musical, an adaptation of Idiot's Delight set amid the onset of World War III; the cast included Brent Barrett just before he joined AMC)
Anything Goes (one-night reunion concert for the 1987 Broadway revival held April 1, 2002; Elizabeth took the role of Mrs. Harcourt, since Anne Francine died back in 1999)
