In the original 1962 Broadway production of Little Me, an older
affluent Belle looks back on her successful career and recounts
her story. In the revised 1982 version the aging Belle has suffered
severe financial setbacks and is an entertainer in a club in Hackensack
New Jersey. Tony Walton's colorful set design for the "Casa
Mañana" club (shown above), one of the many he created
for the revival, complemented and emphasized the bright comedy
of the production. Walton also designed the costumes for the new
production.
