[.ca] Anything Goes (2003 National Theatre's London Cast ...

The Perfect ANYTHING GOES!:
This is the ultimative ANYTHING GOES-Score! The whole cast is outstanding (especially Sally-Ann Triplett and Anette McLaughlin)and they belt out their songs in a way like never before! But the Arrangements make this CD worth buying! The WHOLE Score is here (including a longer Overture, a differents Interlude and some new Arrangements like for example a little gospel-like part in Blow, Gabriel, Blow and a Tango/Chardasz-Section in Gypsy in Me). The Score is complete and refreshing. Even the Sailor's Chantey has got a new and interesting musical interlude. Everybody who loves ANYTHING GOES has to buy this Soundtrack! P.S.: I hope my English is well enough to understand...

Sally Ann Triplett and a dream cast!:
This is the cast album to the acclaimed 2003 National Theatre revival of ANYTHING GOES, directed by Trevor Nunn and starring Sally Ann Triplett as Reno Sweeney. Sally Ann Triplett is ideally cast as the singing chaunteuse-turned evangelist, with a cast including John Barrowman as Billy Crocker; Mary Stockley as Hope Harcourt; Simon Day as Sir Evelyn Oakleigh and Annette McLaughlin as Erma. John Barrowman is fine as Billy. Barrowman replaced Howard McGillin in the long-running 1989 London revival (with Elaine Paige as Reno), and is fine in this newest revival, offering up a particularly fetching "All Through the Night" and "It's De-Lovely". Annette McLaughlin (who's credits also include a stint as Velma in London's CHICAGO) is in fine voice as the scene-stealing gun moll Erma, and stops the show cold with her commanding "Buddie, Beware". Mary Stockley's silvery soprano is ideal for the role of Hope and she sings a plaintive "Goodbye, Little Dream, Goodbye". A major difference between this recording and the previous 2 major cast albums (the '87 Broadway revival and the '89 London revival) is the inclusion of the full Overture, which is quite thrilling. This new ANYTHING GOES is a must-own.

Fantastic!!!:
My husband and I saw this play in London last April and fell in love....Cole Porter's music is magic. The show was fantastic and I was so glad to be able to order this cast recording. Sally Ann Triplett and the entire cast are marvelous. It's "De-Lovely!"
