Doctor and nurse uniforms. Usher uniforms for song/dance boys. Mayoress costuming slightly out-of-date. CHOREOGRAPHY: Unorthodox modern ballet ranging to modern jazz in rare instances. Two major ballets—"The Cookie Release' and "The Cookie Chase," in which men wear toe shoes, people are thrown through the air, etc., wild sequences in which all the rules are discarded.
