CHOREOGRAPHY: Solo beach ball dance, tango, modern ballet, ballroom steps, soft shoe. LIGHTING AND SPECIAL EFFECTS: Thunderstorm, rain, rear-projected shadows of the hunt figures on horseback. Recorded offstage playback. NOTE: This show is built around the marriage of Grace Kelly to the Prince of Monaco and is in that sense topical for the time of its first production. However, even if fictional names were used it would have little effect on today's production. It was an added point of interest then, but now of little value. The subject has always been Liz Livingstone. The show could be updated or done as a period piece. Beth's beach ball dance solo is extraneous. Original Cast Recording
