Can-Can
The Entertainment Event of the Year!
Directed by Walter Lang
Produced by Suffolk-Cummings Productions
A vibrant, high-spirited musical comedy set in 1890s Paris that celebrates dance, romance, and the clash between propriety and joie de vivre.
A Parisian nightclub owner known for her performances of the can-can attracts the ire of a self-righteous judge. He hatches a plot to photograph her in the act but ends up falling for her — much to the chagrin of her lawyer boyfriend.
