Mike Nichols required that Nathan Lane and Robin Williams filmed at least one good take of each scene sticking to the script before he would allow them to improvise (something both of the actors are known for).
Hank Azaria realized after filming that he had actually based his voice on his grandmother's.
Robin Williams was originally cast as Albert, but he wanted a change from flamboyant characters. Also, with his character, dressing in drag, the film would've basically been a repeat of William's earlier film Mrs. Doubtfire (1993). Thus, he asked to be cast as Armand, after Steve Martin, who was originally cast as Armand, dropped out. Mike Nichols agreed, and re-cast him.
Robin Williams's slip and fall during the shrimp scene was not planned. Williams really fell, and he, Hank Azaria, and Dan Futterman are holding back laughter.
Hank Azaria created two different voices for the character of Agador Spartacus, one being somewhat of a more masculine voice and the other one being higher pitched. He was worried about the second one being too stereotypical until he asked a gay friend of his, who thought it was more realistic.
"Armand: What are you giving him drugs for? What the hell are Pirin tablets? Agador: It's aspirin with the "A" and the "S" scraped off. Armand: My God, what a brilliant idea! Agador: I know."
"Albert: Don't give me that tone! Armand: What tone? Albert: That sarcastic contemptuous tone that means you know everything because you're a man, and I know nothing because I'm a woman. Armand: You're not a woman. Albert: Oh, you bastard!"
