Julie Andrews sang one of the songs, Once Upon a Bedtime, offcamera over the opening credits. It aired on NBC at 730pm on Sunday, December 12, 1976, capping off the programs 25th year on the air. The program did not use the score written for the highly successful Mary Martin version which had previously been televised many times on NBC. Instead, it featurednew and now forgotten songs, written for the production by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse. The story was adapted by Andrew Birkin who would subsequently become a leading Barrie scholar and Jack Burns. Although it was an American production with two American stars, most of the cast was British.
