Revival of Irene, with librettist Hugh Wheeler hired to rework the show. The show retained only five of the original songs and added tunes written by Joseph McCarthy with other composers and original numbers by Charles Gaynor and Otis Clements, with additional material written by Wally Harper and Jack Lloyd for the revival. Actor John Gielgud was hired to direct.
First performance was at the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, before opening at the Minskoff Theatre on Broadway on March 13, 1973.
