Wondering if any of the score of this Tad Mosel/Jerry Herman off-Broadway musical (1961) were ever recorded? It opened after MILK & HONEY on Broadway ...

There is a demo recording around with six songs: "Only Love", "The Girls Who Sit and Wait", "Beautiful", "Take A Good Look Around" "Theme" "The Girls Who Sit and Wait" (Reprise). The liner notes say it is the only musical in Herman's canon that never spawned an original cast album and has never been performed since the original production.

"The Girls Who Sit and Wait" has been recorded twice--once by Fay DeWitt on Ben Bagley's Contemporary Broadway Revisited and later by Leanne Masterton on her all-Herman album Before the Parade Passes By.
