Program from Mame with Ginger Rogers

I was able to obtain a program from the show Mame, which Ginger Rogers starred in at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London in 1969.

I had to purchase an entire set of old programs just to get this one - but it was worth it!  The program is going on display at The Ginger House Museum, but I thought I'd show some of the inside pages here which will not be accessible at the museum. We also have an original poster from this show which looks like the second page here:

Just like the poster






There is a good video of the opening night of Mame here:

And another video of Ginger's first dance number in the musical:
