 D 'Abruzzo was cast independently of her starring role in Avenue Q. Fordham wrote the part of Ms. Miller with D'Abruzzo in mind after seeing her in the off-Broadway show I Love You Because, after D 'Abruzzo had left Avenue Q. In another coincidence, D'Abruzzo had long been a fan of the show, and was overjoyed to have the chance to be on it.
