What do these musicals have in common other than they were fast flops that contained scores that tried to reflect contemporary popular music sounds?

Well, I'm trying to find photos of their productions, and also the names of the artists who designed their respective posters. If anyone has any expertise in this area, I would appreciate their assistance, or some direction to where I might find this information. I have been in touch with people involved with Via Galactica, and Nefertiti, but they don't have the answers I seek.

It's for educational purposes! Thanks!

EDIT: I should add that I know the name of the RLR poster designer, Rodriguez, it just doesn't get me anywhere near finding who this person is. Also, Via Galactica's artist's name is something like Royce Hume, but that is unconfirmed.

There is a photographer on Facebook named John Michael Cox (I think that's right, I will check) He has photos of most of the shows from the 70's. The ones from Rachel Lily.... are mostly from Theatre World but there might be more.
I actually had a reel to reel audio tape of Ellen singing some songs from the show including the fish song and Dear Ms. Streisand but they were stolen from my apt! argh.
Tony Stevens who was in Rachel is a good sorce if you can contact him.

I've looked for pics from VIA for years as well along with the inside of the theater for DUDE. I've never found any sadly.

I have an audio recording of RACHEL...and would have loved to see the set for that as well. It's so horrible, it's something that's always fascinated me.

Thanks for responding! I've actually been in touch with Mr. Cox, and he has informed me of some things I've wanted to know. I did lift those RLR and Via Galactica from his Facebook page.

Here they are for your viewing enjoyment:











Now let's find Rodriguez and Royce Hume(?).
