Composer: Steve
Allen
Lyricists: Steve Allen; Warren Douglas; Jerry Schafter
Opened: April 30, 1969, Palace Theatre,

Note: An earlier incarnation
of the show was called THE PIECE-FULL PALACE, a twice-nightly western frontier
music and dance revue that opened the Circus Circus Hippodrome Showroom in Las
Vegas in late 1968. The show was reconfigured into a star vehicle for Betty
Grable when it was brought to England the following year. It supposedly toured
the provinces under the title GO FOR YOUR GUN before the title was finally
changed to BELLE STARR. A live performance recording of BELLE STARR is known to
exist.
