As noted in the Playbill, the show was to get a cast recording by RCA Victor. The album would have used the same artwork of the female soldier that was later used on the 1965 Canadian London label rerelease of the original cast recording. Although the Broadway recording never came to fruition, Merrick is credited on the Canadian rerelease, though he had no direct affiliation with the show at the time the recording was made.
WHen the production opened, Ian Paterson was credited with playing Sir Henry Wilson and a German Officer, and George Sewell was credited with playing the Kaiser and Sir Douglas Haig. During the run, the German Officer was eliminated from the list of "Principal Roles Played by Male Pierrots" (there was no corresponding list for the Female Pierrots), and Paterson took over the role of the Kaiser, with Sewell continuing as Sir Douglas Haig.
