The booklet, is printed on hard paper and is very nice, with lots of colors. There are 11 medium and one small color pictures of the show (there is also some kind of picture behind the jewel box). This is a really nice booklet. Unfortunately, there is something missing: a sort of history or synopsis of the show. As a non American, I don't know at all what's Riverdance, and I'll have to go through the whole recording before knowing more. The thanks page and the Bill Whelan short biography are not enough to fill the gap. There is a reference to the Grammy Award he did get for the Riverdance album, but there's nothing more explained about

At first listening, I've remarked that there were lots of instrumental tracks. A bad point for me who particularly love singing in musicals. But I must confess that I've been impressed by the quality of that music. I'll go further in my opinion when I have listened at it and read the booklet as fortunately the lyrics are provided.
