Free Music Review: Outstanding, fresh, and full of sparkle
Hit: 5 Stars

In my heart of hearts, I expected not really to like Bernadette Peters doing the role of Annie Oakley in Irving Berlin's terrific "Annie Get Your Gun"--I am delighted to say that I was wrongedy-wrong-wrongo and she is stellar! Peters has a crystalline purity to her voice that I was afraid wouldn't stand up to the robust American tunes Berlin wrote for this show, but she does them justice and then some.

So many outstanding musical actresses have played this role--from Hutton to Merman and beyond--that it must be difficult to overcome the audience's expectations and make the role your own. Even though I did not see Bernadette Peters in the role on Broadway, I can tell you that merely from listening to the CD I have a different perspective about the character because she so fully claims it from the very start.

Peters' Annie is frustrated with her Oklahoma background at the same time that she's fiercely proud of it. She's afraid of and admiring of Frank Butler (played with lazy charm by Tom Wopat), and irritated by him at the same time that she's falling in love with him. Peters gets Annie's spark and verve exactly right, while also imbuing her with a little-girl quality of wanting to prove herself to everyone around her. When she first starts into the classic "There's No Business Like Show Business," her voice is tentative and quiet with wonder at the gaudy world surrounding her now that she's performing for audiences instead of just her little sisters and brothers. This makes a much more effective platform for building to the song's rousing crescendo than simply starting off booming and trying to take it from there.

Peters and Wopat are absolutely hilarious and wonderful on "I Can Do Anything Better Than You." The part where they are challenging each other to see who can sing more sweetly is especially great--each puts frilly, over-the-top operatic spins on the "Yes, I can" and "No, you can't" lyrics that makes you giggle just to listen. And on "An Old-Fashioned Wedding," Peters' lip-smacking anticipation of the "big church, with bridesmaids and flower girls" is palpable.

The supporting cast is fine, too, and Wopat acquits himself very handsomely, but this is really Bernadette Peters' show and she seizes it and runs with it--beautifully!
