Harold Prince, Robert Griffith and Frederick Brisson, who produced the show on Broadway, decided early on that Lola had to be portrayed by a dancer. They offered the role to Mitzi Gaynor and Jeanmaire, both of whom turned it down. Gwen Verdon had received raves for her breakthrough supporting role in the musical "Can-Can." When she was offered Lola, Verdon initially turned it down, feeling she did not possess the sultry physical appearance needed for the role. It was Bob Fosse who urged her to reconsider.
