The current article states "Leonard Bernstein handpicked Constance Hauman to fill in on 24 hrs. notice to replace an ailing June Anderson in the only concerts where he conducted his operetta CANDIDE himself." This seems to suggest that June Anderson never performed and/or never performed in Candide while being conducted by Bernstein. That would be false; despite illness June Anderson did perform in Candide conducted by Bernstein. See for example the following video clip available on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcmAdS8vkDA

Is it possible Hauman filled in for June Anderson in some earlier or later performances, can this be confirmed, and can this article be modified to be more accurate?
