It starred Drew Forsythe as the twins, coloratura soprano Jennifer McGregor, Tony Sheldon, and Tony Taylor (for all four of whom their roles were specifically written), Jon Ewing as Pancrazio, the villain, and others.[2]The 1981 Sydney remount by Nimrod Theatre[3] at the York Theatre, Seymour Centre featuring most of the original cast toured to Canberra, Adelaide, Melbourne and Geelong.[4][5][6] The cast was reduced to nine from the original ten.

Other notable productions include those of the State Theatre Company of South Australia featuring Paul Blackwell (Adelaide 1996 and Melbourne)[7] and Queensland Theatre Company featuring Mitchell Butel (Brisbane 2004).[8] It is frequently produced by schools and amateur theatre groups.
