Thanks for the pictures!

Trivia: The show was choreographed by Peter Gennaro, who had been hired by Jerome Robbins to create the Shark dances for Chita in West Side Story.

The shirtless hunk in the photo with Chita is Gus Trikonis, who was in the original cast of West Side Story. He was also Goldie Hawn's first husband.

The older woman in the polka dot dress is Mae Questel, the original voice of Betty Boop.

The talented cast included Herb Edelman (Bea Arthur's ex-husband on Golden Girls), Paul Sorvino, Two Tevyes: Herschel Bernardi and Harry Goz, Fosse dancer Leland Palmer, and a young Michael Bennett in his fourth Broadway show, his last as a performer before moving on to choreography.
