DESCRIPTION:
This impressive book contains the complete book and lyrics of one of the longest running shows in Broadway history with a preface by Samuel Freedman, an introduction by Frank Rich and lots of photos from the stage production..

The book has numbers that did not even make it on the CD. Just an excellent piece to have if you collect this
