Trivia & History

The recording seems to have been recorded before the London opening, probably during the tryout in Glasgow. Francis de Wolff is heard as Schlegel on the recoridng. In London, the role was played by Peter Bayliss.


The original Broadway cast recording made changes and cuts to several numbers, including the opening music, "Humming," "Love Makes the World Go Round," "Beautiful Candy," "Her Face," and "It Was Always You." For the most part, the London cast recording was far more faithful to how the numbers were performed onstage.

In addition, the London recording included "Golden Delicious Fish," not on the Broadway recording, and created a finale for the recording by combining the reprise of "The Grand Imperial Cirque de Paris" (not on the Broadway recording, although what’s on the London recording does not include the “Direct from Vienna” counterpoint that’s in the reprise) and the closing underscoring of "Love Makes the World Go Round."
