    • No matter what anyone's first exposure to Mandy Patinkin is, when they find out he's a legendary triple threat, they're sure to say "wait... THAT guy?" (My first real Patinkin experience was his self-titled show-tunes album, which I was learning a song for an audition from. It was... not an easy performance to replicate.)

    • During closing credits, the girl: "Mandy Patinkin? From Elmo in Grouchland?"
