MARBECKS COLLECTABLE: Berlin: Annie Get Your Gun
Bernadette Peters & Tom Wopat / 1998 New Broadway Cast
[ EMI Angel Broadway / CD ]
Release Date: Sunday 1 August 1999
"Bernadette Peters may be thirty years too old to play Annie Oakley but you wouldn't know it on this CD. She is in peak vocal condition, making the most of every lyric. As for Tom Wopat, let's just say he's okay as long as the songs make minimal demands. Otherwise, he simply skips the high notes and warbles on, doing limited justice to Berlin's tunes. The supporting cast is fine, most notably Broadway veteran Ron Holgate (1776, Grand Tour) as an exuberant Buffalo Bill" Musicals101
Annie Get Your Gun is a 1946 musical with lyrics and music by Irving Berlin from a book by Herbert and Dorothy Fields. The story is a fictionalised version of the life of Annie Oakley (1860-1926), who was a sharpshooter from Ohio, and her husband, Frank Butler.
The 1946 Broadway production was a hit, and the show had long runs in both New York and London. Songs that became hits include "There's No Business Like Show Business", "Doin' What Comes Natur'lly", "You Can't Get a Man with a Gun", "They Say It's Wonderful" and "Anything You Can Do."
