There is one questionable number on the OLO recording, “Blarney Is Our Birthright,” for which nothing appears to exist beyond the lyrics in the earliest libretto draft, “In Erin’s Isle.” Several of the numbers on the recording, including “Blarney Is our birthright,” are orchestrations by Quade. The production made cuts in the opening of Act Three and cut the duet “I’d Like To Be A Lady.”
