Hey, Greg. "Spring Will Come Again" is a bonus track on the Koch recording of the Bernstein Peter Pan, but it was written for the musical version of The Skin of Our Teeth on which Bernstein, Comden and Green worked in the fall of 1964, not producing, as far as anyone knows, much material. The music for the other song that has been performed (in By Bernstein), "Here Comes the Sun," was recycled by LB into his Chichester Psalms. The music for "Spring Will Come Again" was also utilized for the Chichester Psalms. I don't think "Spring WIll Come Again" is included in the materials for Peter Pan.

Jo Sullivan and Kim Criswell have also recorded "Dream With Me," and perhaps there are some other recordings.

And, of course, some of the songs that did appear in the Broadway production, notably "Who Am I?" and "Build My House," have each been recorded several times, the first most famously by Nina Simone.
