Review

In the original Broadway cast, the role of Bobo was played by Abbe Lane, but she was under contract to another record company, so Columbia used Eileen Rodgers instead. Unfortunately, this situation wasn't all that uncommon in the 1950's, where a featured performer couldn't be on the cast recording. The most famous instance is CALL ME MADAM, where RCA had the rights to the cast album, but Decca had the rights to Ethel Merman.
