Marisa Field, an actor and dancer, was one of five women who performed the number alongside Morse.
(Shes wearing the purple dress.)
What an absolute lovely way to go, hepreviously told usin 2014.
Because ofMad Mensinsane nondisclosure agreements, it wasnt explained what I was doing when I went into the audition.
A friend whos a choreographer was working with Mary Ann Kellogg, who choreographed the piece.
I was a huge fan of the show.
Throughout the audition process, nobody told us what was happening.
The audition was quite large.
I want to say there were around 50 people before us five were chosen.
We played around with different ideas of what our movements would look like.
It didnt matter that the show was in the seventh season.
He was very invested in the choreography and wanted it to be perfect for Robert.
We had a rehearsal with Robert the day before.
He was so proud and excited to do the number.
He brought in old CDs for us to listen to Sugarwas one of them.
And photos of old shows he had done.
It was really charming.
They had to shoot our side and then also shoot the reactions for Jon Hamm.
He was there nearly the whole time we were.
We did it as best as we could for him to give his reaction shots.
Literally the entire cast.
They presented a cake for Robert after.
Robert was very humble about his dancing.
He told me in between takes, I was never a dancer.
I remember when Gwen Verdon was trying to teach me choreography and I always felt like such an idiot.
He was a true showman and knew what to do.
To this day, it was the most special thing Ive ever worked on.
It was obviously very special to him.
I was in a dreamlike state the whole time.
