Marc Bruni directed the cast lead by Elena Shaddow and featuring James Snyder, George Hearn, Fred Applegate, Priscilla Lopez, David Patrick Kelly, Michael McCormick and Ted Sutherland.
Fanny features music and lyrics by Harold Rome and book by S.N. Behrman and Joshua Logan. Set in Marseille, according to production notes, Fanny is "a tale of a young girl's passion for a young man so in love with the sea that he leaves her, little realizing that she is pregnant with his child. Her marriage of convenience to a wealthy older man desperate to have an heir is complicated by the sailor's return years later."
