Free Music Review: Why Anna Christie?
Hit: 3 Stars
It seems quite strange that a drama like Anna Christie would be the choice of writers of Broadway musicals! And the results also came out strange.
Although "New Girl in Town" ran for 431 performances and came out in the black financially, it really is not musical comedy material. Reviews were mixed at best, with no raves. Were it not for the standout, Tony winning performances of Gwen Verdon and Thelma Ritter, the show almost surely would have flopped.
A couple of numbers deserved to become popular singles. Most deserved to fade quickly from memory. "Ven Ve Valse" is a blatant knockoff of R & H's "Shall We Dance."
Still, this original cast recording merits a place on the shelves of Broadway enthusiasts, simply as a part of musical history, and of Gwen Verdon fans.
