Footlight Records - Ordered 03/12/98 - Received 12/11/98
Amazon.com - Ordered 12.16.98 - Shipped 01/02/99 - Received 01/09/99
The booklet contains a big B&W photo of Judy Kaye, a big color photo of Donald Maxwell, Valerie Masterson and David Rendall and four little B&W photos of other performers. There is also an interview of the authors by themselves and a history of the show by Jack Everly.
I'd call this an Opera. And it is really nice for those who like the style.
