Performers
- Chorus singers include Marilyn Sokol, Carol Hall, Jane Henson, and Rita Moreno.[1] The characters are puppeteered to a pre-recorded vocal track as evidenced by the fact that several women have the same voice, some voices change, and the synch is noticeably off during a few key lines. As such, no one particular character has a designated performer.
