MrsSallyAdams said: "Anything Goes opened on Broadway in 1934. Vera Dunn played Bonnie, a comic gangster's moll. The name stuck for the films and the 1962 Off-Broadway revival. The part was expanded, slightly for that production.
The 1987 revival changed her name to Erma and cast Linda Hunt. Subsequent revivals have been of the Crouse/Weidman version so the new name stuck. Anyone know the reason for the name change?
