Trivia & History

As noted in the Playbill, the show was to get a cast recording by RCA Victor. The album would have used the same artwork of the female soldier that was later used on the 1965 Canadian London label rerelease of the original cast recording. Although the Broadway recording never came to fruition, Merrick is credited on the Canadian rerelease, though he had no direct affiliation with the show at the time the recording was made.
