The cast was led by Madeline Kahn, playing the role of the Servant, also including Shannon Bolin, Ty McConnell, Gilbert Price, Alice Playten, Michael Davis, and Carrie Wilson.

When Kahn left Promenade, claiming illness, she was replaced by Pamela Hall, who had just closed on Broadway as the ingenue in Jerry Herman's DEAR WORLD.

Subsequently, it was produced in Chicago under the direction of June Pyskacek by her theater, the Kingston Mines Theatre Co., where in 1971 the world premiere of "Grease" commenced its long run.

By the time the recording was finally made, Kahn was no longer available, playing in SHOW BOAT in San Diego.

Cast members George S. Irving and Mark Allen III were on vacation, and so their musical numbers were not recorded.

Because of the time limitations of a single disc, several production numbers, including "Spring Beauties" and "The Laughing Song," also were not recorded.
