I might be wrong, but this looks like the Carnaby Street production; the Elephant Fandango was gypsy themed.
Anybody with a program book handy?
I thought Hugo's wardrobe for Fandango was blue and pink.

Mike,

It's definitely Carnaby Street from the 99th Edition. The big clue is the "mod" wardrobe the elephant-riding ladies are wearing in the background.

Elephant Fandango, the menage number in the 100th Edition was indeed gypsy themed.

Yes, and I think the lyrics to the song played during Elephant Fandango were, oddly enough, "Those were the days, my friend. We thought they'd never end." -- ToddP
