Rose-Marie is the cast recording of the operetta-style musical of the same name, released by RCA Victor in 1958 and starring Julie Andrews and Giorgio Tozzi. The work is based on the 1924 Broadway operetta set in the Canadian Rockies and includes songs such as "Indian Love Call", "Rose Marie", and "Totem Tom-Tom". The recording was produced in London and conducted by Lehman Engel.
The album presented Andrews in the title role, performing alongside Tozzi, with support from the Michael Sammes Singers and the New Symphony Orchestra. It was released in stereo, and noted as one of the most complete recordings of the musical.
Upon release, Rose-Marie received generally favorable reviews and was later reissued on CD with additional historical material. The recording is considered part of Andrews's early discography and was included in promotional campaigns highlighting her albums during the 1960s.
