BELLE STARR



Composer: Steve Allen
Lyricists: Steve Allen; Warren Douglas; Jerry Schafter

Opened: April 30, 1969, Palace Theatre, London
Performances: 16


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.
