The show would very often have simple black light theatre segments utilizing paper or cardboard cutouts.

A notable recording of a popular song, such as Judy Garland singing Over the Rainbow ( from The Wizard of Oz ), Mary Martin singing Never Never Land ( from Peter Pan ), Allan Jones singing The Donkey Serenade ( from The Firefly ), or Danny Kaye singing Inchworm ( from Hans Christian Andersen ) would be heard while the cutouts played on the screen, animated by a concealed puppeteer.

On other occasions, full-fledged hand puppets would " perform " to the song being played.
