Wonderful full color illustrations and text all on glossy 8 1/2 X 11paper.

The complete Libretto of the original play is in the back of this book. Some of the pictures taken of the play are fuzzy, unlike the rest of the photos in the book. Over all, this book provides a good history of the story and all of its different versions.
