modernistic approach to costumes, lighting and settings,
seemed to be well accepted and fulfilled the requirements
which the script demanded. Elements used to unify the
production included the set designs for ail three acts, the
color used in "the set designs, and the costume designs.
The ideas and artistic style of Peter Max aided in giving
the production the modernistic quality which was preferred.
Unlike the original production on Broadway, the decision
was made to use separate casts for each of the three acts.
Educationally, then, the production gave many theatre stu-
dents an opportunity to play principal roles in a musical
comedy which would otherwise be unavailable to them. This
study also gave the student an opportunity to witness the
combination of many different fine art areas into one
artistic endeavor.
This study concludes that the production was successful
and fulfilled all of the original criteria set down for it.
The play, presented with a limited budget, was successful
not only as art but also as entertainment.
