Pamela Sousa in "Can-Can" 1981


From an EBay auction by SFX Archive:

The 1981 production of "Can-Can" had a very short run (probably not helped by the following review in the New York Times):

Ms. Sousa (Claudine in the photo above) had a long Broadway career from the mid-70s through the mid-90s:

From sfxarchive's site:

"SFX Archive has acquired the Theatre World/Screen World Archive, a large privately held, important archive of twentieth century American theatre and film production still photographs and other related theatre and film memorabilia. For 67 years, Theatre World & Screen World annual publications have been pictorial and statistical hardcover records of the American theatre and both foreign and domestic film seasons.

"Now, for the first time, upon the death of longtime editor John Willis (editor of Theatre World and Screen World from 1964 until the early 2000s), photographs and autographed memorabilia from the Archive are being offered for sale."
