The booklet contains 4 medium and 2 full page B&W pictures of the show, and 3 big and 12 medium color pictures. It's very nice to have all those pictures! The back cover of the jewel box also holds one small color picture. There is a full list of who did the arrangements for the songs. They're mainly from Jonathan Smith 'except as noted'.

There is a five pages text about the show, and these are 5 real text pages, no picture, small characters... Then there are 4 pages with a little description text for each song.

Laisse-moi souffler coco, celui-la c'est pas du gateau.
