It could be a great addition to a school whose music or drama department was planning on using this musical in their curriculum. The illustrations are fun and cartoonish. The text is the lyrics to the broadway musical, and would be helpful for students who wouldn’t catch all the words if they were just listening to the music. But, as a stand-alone book, it’s a bit difficult to read without knowing the tune that should be accompanying the words. It would have been stronger if it included a CD in the back with the music, or a link suggested as to where readers could listen to the music online.
