[edit] The Original Cast Album
The original cast album was recorded for Columbia Records on Monday, November 20, 1961 following the Saturday close two days earlier. A cast album had already been planned based on hopes that the show would be a hit, but Columbia Records, despite the extremely short run of the show, went ahead and made and released the album, and it has since reached a cult status. It is currently out of print.
