CLASS ACT #13


Here’s Helen Reddy, singing in the sunshine in the Muppet Show, Series 3, Episode 313, May 1978, when she was 36 years of age. She’ll be 73 in October. Ouch!

How about that corking camel? It would look good in your production of ‘Ali Baba’, ‘Sinbad the Sailor’, or even 'Humpty Dumpty'... hotcha, hotcha, hotcha!

Notice that the body of the camel has got two holes in it, both top and bottom. The dancers wear big feet, trimmed with faux fur fabric with long pile hair. Their leggings and ‘hats’ are similarly trimmed, and the camel body just drops over the two of them. It won’t be easy to make, but It’s a stunner… and Helen Reddy is a ‘beaut’ as well!

No tricky dance steps, but very clever, and brilliantly done. A great musical number for a pantomime, camel or no!
