Description / My Opinion

Amazon.com - Ordered 02/02/99 - Shipped 02/06/99 - Received 02/12/99 The booklet includes 5 small B&W pictures of the main performers, and one big B&W picture of some of them with one RCA Victor executive. Nothing really thrilling. There is a 6 pages text from Erik Haagensen (book and lyrics author of several musicals). There is a 3 and a half pages synopsis. This musical has a wonderful score, unfortunately supported by old-style singers, and I would love to get this musical re-recorded with today singers. Note that the performers are not bad at all but their singing style is really old fashioned. The story seems to be quite funny.
