The earlier recording has Zenaida Yanowsky as 'The Queen of Hearts'. As good as she is, Laura Morera, nor anyone else, was never going to have the perfect comedy timing of the role. So if you don't have a version, buy the earlier version with Zanaida, she made this role her own. Apart from that role its pretty equal. I have the earlier one and having seen the later version in Cinema, can categorically say that it brings nothing new
