Two-sheets, unattached. Paper. Jerome Savary was a colorful, influential impresario of the French theatre whose specialty was blending genres to help broaden appeal. For the poster promoting the musical comedy he chose Robert Crumb, the great American, counter-culture and underground cartoonist who had moved to France in 1990. The large format of this poster was specifically suited for the French poster columns (Colonne Morris), and it is the only poster that Crumb designed in this size. The image was also used on the back of the album cover for the recording of the show.
