Alta Dupont, Lead Can-Can in 2007’s Magic Toy Shop is pictured here with Abigail Geshwind, as a baby-doll.  Abigail was also featured in 2007 as Baby Bear.

Gigi Clark performed in the Magic Toyshop show in December of 2007.  She filled each child and teen role in Magic Toyshop over the years she danced with Starship, from Baby Bear to Ballarina Doll (2007).  Here she is shown after the last show of the performance weekend with 2007’s Baby Bear, Abigail Geshwind in her first Magic Toyshop experience.  Who knows?  Maybe we’ll see Gigi back in an adult role one day?
