Gower Champion both directed Writing the Broadway Musical choreographed with orchestrations by Philip J. The puppets were designed and created by Tom Tichenor. Carnival was notable for its innovative staging: there was no overture, and before the play commenced the curtain was already raised to put on view a field with a few trees; at the play's beginning actors hauled in wagons and raised a tent as if they were setting up a traveling fair at a new site. Throughout the play actors entered and exited the stage via the aisles of the theater, where occasional bits of the action were played. In the early stages of developing CarnivalMerrick had envisioned Lili as a dancing rather singing role as in the parent film Liliand had hoped that film's star Leslie Caron would recreate the Lili role on Broadway. This course proving untenable, the Lili role in Carnival was developed as a singing role for which Carol Lawrence was for a time a front runner. However, Merrick's ultimate choice for the role was Anna Maria Alberghettian Italian born lyric soprano who, at twenty-four, had eighteen years experience as a singer and had a light resume of screen acting credits, mostly on television. Before CarnivalAlberghetti had two evident credits as a musical stage actress, having appeared at the Oakdale Theatre in Wallingford CT in Writing the Broadway Musical of Rose-Marie and The Firefly in, respectively, and It has been reported that Merrick cast Alberghetti in Carnival after a January viewing of her cabaret act in Philadelphia, where the singer's audience interaction had made a favorable impression. However, Alberghetti has stated that Merrick had her audition after seeing her at the Oakdale Musical Theater inand her casting as Lili was reported in The New York Times as early as November Despite his early good opinion of Alberghetti, Merrick's relationship with the star of his musical turned acrimonious. Merrick refused to release Alberghetti from Carnival to avail herself of a film offer she received four months into the play's run, and when Alberghetti was hospitalized August 6, for anemia and exhaustion, Merrick reportedly either had an independent physician examine Alberghetti in hospital or had the hospitalized Alberghetti verify her illness in a lie detector test. Gillette's brief stints in the lead of Carnival — she'd relieve Alberghetti during the latter's two-week vacation in December — had enough impact to launch a Broadway career for Gillette — although Carnival would remain the only hit in which she appeared.
