The cast of ten years ago might not have recognized the 1981 performance with the enlarged stage, lighting effects, beautiful costumes, and professional backdrops, but the story line remained the some. With the whole choir involved in cast or on work crew assignments, the musical was presented on December 4, 5, and 6 to appreciative audiences Clhd netted the biggest profit in GHS musical history. Todd Williamson was a true villian as the evil Barnaby, who plots to marry Mistress Mary, played by Melissa Volker. Robin Grove, Terry Thompson, and Keith Bosen appeared in the other lead parts of Jane, Alan, and Tom. the plot takes them all to a Toyland which was facinating with its life size toy soldiers, French dolls, dancers, and Raggedy Ann d0lIs. The COhCIuSiOn featured the kindly toymdker, Paul Shelly, presiding over a happy ending for all but Barnaby, as the entire cast joined in the theme song Toyland . 11 ln preparation tor the opening scene, Eric Francis is offered a helping paw. 21 lt takes a lot ot people behind the scenes as well as the cast to put on a great musical. 31 The kindly toy maken Paul Shelly, sings the theme song, Toy Land. 41 Accompanied by a band ot toy soliders, Marie Cramer goes through the mechanical motions of a music box dancer. 41 Sean Combs is a real demonstration ot inanimateness as he portrays a toy soldier on guard. 61 A massive shepherd's crook, sun bonnet, and pantaloons all helped to establish Sara Elliott as Little Bo Peep.
