| I saw it at the Circle Star theatre near San Francisco (actually in San Carlos on the peninsula). . The show was done in the round, so no atmospheric set. Viviane Blane was outstanding. Robert Alda played Ben, Jane Keane was Sally. Hildegarde and Stella Deems were Ah Paris and Broadway Baby. It was not a great production, mostly "wanna bes but never weres". Weak choreography since it was in the round. The ghosts haunted the aisles of the theartre throughout the show. The audience missed a big Loveland set very much., so the spectacle of that sequence could only be achieved with costumes . San Jose Civic Light Opera did a production in 1987 that was amazing. I do not remember the cast, but they were all excellent and the sets/costumes were stunning. |
