"We were just looking for any kind of road where the trees would give way to a view like this. My production designer David Wasco and his team wound up changing certain aspects of the location. They added these old-fashioned gas lamps that you see in movies like 'Singin’ in the Rain.' They added the bench and altered the shrubbery in certain cases so you get a more dramatic drop-off and suddenly see a vista. That meant adding some trees and shrubbery earlier so that the vista was blocked and we could withhold it and then reveal it at a dramatic moment."

"In this case, that involved adapting a dance that had been developed in a studio to a slanted hillside road full of potholes and dirt. Once we got on the location to actually shoot it, what we really needed to choreograph and rehearse was the camera. I think the third dancer in this number that you don’t see onscreen is the camera."
