Music reviews of Anything Goes - The New Broadway Cast Recording
Music Review: Those songs speak for themselves
Rating: 4 Stars
A delightful, if not necessarily well-sung, recording of the 1987 Lincoln Center revival of Cole Porter's famous musical. With several interpolations from other Porter shows (Including a few that were cut from the original production but that he later put in other shows himself), the majority of the score sparkles like probably none before and few since, and the not-so-good songs on this album (Like "Public Enemy Number One" and the rather unwisely chosen interpolations "I Want to Row On the Crew"-written in Porter's Yale days and boy did he have a lot to learn-and "Goodbye Little Dream, Goodbye") are quickly and efficiently dealt with so we can get to the real goods-"I Get a Kick Out of You," "You're the Top," "Anything Goes," "Blow, Gabriel Blow," "All Through the Night," and also the interpolated "Freindship," "It's DeLovely," and "Buddie Beware," a great song cut several weeks into the run of the original production and reinstated (To a different character than the original but to equally delightful effect) here. The new orchestrations, unlike some others in Broadway revivals, are generally quite respectful and don't go too far off on a tangent while still giving the score a fresh sound. As for the cast, Howard McGillin warbles away and Tony winner Bill McCutcheon turns the silly "Be Like the Bluebird" into a charming showstopper. None of the other supporting cast members are any great shakes although the chorus of sailors do a fine job in their songs. And then there is Patti LuPone. Okay, so she runs through Porter's lyrics like a steamroller and doesn't seem to be too concerned with letting those clever rhymes and double meanings shine through, and even Merman must have been a tad more subtle. But you have to admit she has one heck of a belter's voice, brillaintly displayed in "Blow, Gabriel Blow," and her interplay with McGillin in "You're the Top" and McCutcheon in "Friendship" is great to hear. As I said, these songs speak for themselves. It is also a delight to hear Porter himself in an old recording of the title song right before the overture starts. A excitingly theatrical recording whose strengths by far override its weaknesses.
Description of Anything Goes - The New Broadway Cast Recording
The critically acclaimed first Broadway revival of the classic Cole Porter musical, features such hits as the title song, "You re the Top," "I Get a Kick Out of You" and "Blow, Gabriel, Blow." Starring two-time Tony®-winner Patti LuPone and Howard McGillin (longtime star of Broadway s The Phantom of the Opera) it is the winner of three Tony Awards® including Best Revival of a Musical and Featured Actor in a Musical (Bill McCutcheon) and a Grammy Award® nominee for Best Musical Cast Show Album. A new production of Anything Goes opened on Broadway April 7, 2011.One of the leaders in the trend of big splashy revivals in the late 1980s and early '90s, Lincoln Center's 1987 production of Anything Goes was the perfect evocation of the 1930s, from the period pit band to James McMullan's striking poster art to the large photograph of Cole Porter that smiled over the stage like an approving spirit. While the score earns its share of authenticity by resurrecting numerous songs from the original score, it also tosses in a few ringers such as "Friendship" and "It's De-Lovely." (Porter himself did not mind when people staging his shows borrowed songs from his other shows.) Then-rising star Howard McGillin sings sweet ballads and the ensemble numbers are excellent, but the show belongs to Patti LuPone, who in the role of Reno Sweeney grabs the baton from Ethel Merman and never lets go. Her "I Get a Kick Out of You" is one of the great performances of her generation, and the title tune and "Blow, Gabriel, Blow" make almost every other song sound like filler. LuPone was upset in the Tony race by Joanna Gleason, but the show did win for Best Revival. The booklet includes full lyrics, synopsis, production notes, and photos. --David Horiuchi
