Free Music Notes for Anything Goes - The New Broadway Cast Recording

The old Cole Porter tunes hold up well in this well orchestrated and good vocal recording.Free Music Review: Some bits are great, but others are mediocre

This is the only version I've heard of Anything Goes, and I think the sound is fine and Lu Pone is perfect as Reno, but some bits of this I just want to skip while I'm listening to it. I really think it's worth buying, because some of the songs are fantastic, but I feel that some of the other songs just weren't meant to be sung like this. I like Howard McGillin at the beginning, especially in 'You're the Top', but when he starts to sing all the romantic songs, he turns all sappy. This would normally be good, but it's like a sickening sappy. It happens with Anne Francine too. One moment she'll be singing with this great voice, and then go all high-pitched with an over-acted sweetness. Seriously, a shiver ran down my spine the first time I heard her sing 'Goodbye, Little Dream', and not a good shiver either.
Buy this if you want to, because it's still a great CD, but don't expect too much from anyone but Patti Lu Pone. Is there anything she can't do?
Free Music Review: Not the style that Anything Goes was intended to be...
Hit: 3 Stars
Although this CD version of Anything Goes has a few more songs, I am among many who prefer the earlier version with Eileen Rodgers. Patti LuPone does shine in the 1987 cast, but I think this CD tries too hard to make the show more modern. If you prefer a more modern sound in classic Broadway musicals, go for this version. But if you want to experience Anything Goes in the style that it was intended to be, go for the earlier version. The three songs on this CD that aren't on the other version are: "Buddie Beware", "There's No Cure Like Travel", and "The Gypsy In Me". Of course if you are a huge lover of Anything Goes and can afford it, by all means, get BOTH CDs!Free Music Review: Good, but not the best I've heard it......
Hit: 3 Stars
As someone who's actually performed this show (not on Broadway, unfortunately), I must say this isn't the best score I've heard. It's good, but I find the singing a little too stiff and fast overall, especially in some of the "romantic" songs (All Through The Night, It's Delovely). Reno's part, however, shines through as one of the best I've ever heard. Also, this version lacks some of the great pieces that were added to the show earlier. All in all, I'd have to recommend the 1962 off-broadway version over this one.Free Music Review: Ugh! turn it off!

I disliked this recording. The sound was warped and the mic was way to far away from the singers. It sounded like some guy sat in the audience during a show with a very poor quality recording device in his pocket and sold it on the corner of broadway as a tourist souvenire.
