Product Description
From Amazon.com
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
Album Description
This hit 1987 revival won three Tonys thanks to its swingin' score (which also includes Cole Porter songs from his other musicals) and marvelous performances by Howard McGillin and Patti LuPone. Her stunning I Get a Kick Out of You joins You're the Top; Easy to Love; It's De-Lovely; Blow, Gabriel, Blow , and more!

Not the style that Anything Goes was intended to be...,
By JustMe123 "jennifer123" (Boca Raton, Florida USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Anything Goes - Original Cast Recording (Audio CD)
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!

Good, but not the best I've heard it......,
By A Customer
This review is from: Anything Goes - Original Cast Recording (Audio CD)
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.

really wonderful cast album,

This review is from: Anything Goes - Original Cast Recording (Audio CD)
"Anything Goes," is a great musical and this version is updated and really in tune. I'd reocmmend it to any musical theatre fan. Howard McGillan has a great voice really, strong and perfect for broadway. The rest of the cast is good too.It feature some great Cole Porter songs, and really a vibrent and beautiful score.
