Amazon.com - Ordered 01/14/99 - Shipped 01/22/99 - Received 02/02/99 The booklet contains an introductory note by Peter Hunt and one by Frank Wildhorn, then a big text from Nan Knighton (4 pages!) that talks about the recording and the actors. After that, there is a synopsis, a list of all the performers (vocals and instruments). At the end, there is a reproduction of the show poster. There are 10 small photos of the performers on stage, 2 medium photos of the stage and one big double page photo of the stage as a background for the text somewhere. This booklet reminds me the Jekyll & Hyde booklet. As for the booklet, the music author can easily be guessed by listening at the recording. Wildhorn's music is here, and for those who loved Jekyll & Hyde like me, it's a pleasure. But at times, it's a little too much the same, and I've thought of already listened themes (not necessarily Wildhorn's) while listening at Pimpernel. For example Madame Guillotine has something of Alive (from J&H). For the singers, I have nothing to say out of a big respect of mine for their performances. For example, Terrence Mann is absolutely terrific in this recording. A very good cast recording, on the near top of my list. I love to sing Prayer and Falcon In The Dive.
