The booklet contains a number of critics samples, a two pages synopsis, 6 small and 4 medium B&W pictures of the performers.

What a promising recording! If the show is as good as this album, it will probably be one of the most important new piece of musical theatre to come out these years. It has both simplicity and vocal attract. It has haunting melodies, not one but nearly every number has its own life, though being perfectly integrated in the whole score. Passion, feelings expressed by the performers are nearly touchable. This is an incredible cast recording.
