Voices at C of P

[PETE FROM NYC]

I know some of the voices sound familiar but can't place them.
Any help?

I may be terribly wrong, but the narrator has always sounded like Jean Shepherd to me (he wrote A Christmas Story about the kid with the Red Rider BB gun, and Fourth of July and other Disasters).

I thought that was B.J. Ward! She was also the voice of Scarlet on the G.I. Joe cartoons in the 80's.

I always knew that was J. Shepard from Christmas Story but never knew Mel Blanc threw his voice in there!

DH will nerd out about that bit of trivia.

I about fell out of my seat the first time I saw C of P. I LOVED watching G.I. Joe. :thumbsup:

Thanks for the responses.
About the only name I recognize is Mel Blanc.
I saw the original at the NY Worlds Fair in 1964-65.That one had 2-3 more stage scenes,then the crowd was led out through a display of GE products.
