ANNIE GET YOUR GUN...BERNADETTE PETERS...TOM WOPAT. Broadway Angel
TRACKS PLAYED....
There's no business like show business / Doin' what comes naturally / The girl that I marry.
You can't get a man with a gun / Moonshine Lullaby / They say it's wonderful / My defences
are down / I got the sun in the morning / Anything you can do / Finale Act 2.
Wonderful Irving Berlin score featuring so many songs that have become standards that it leaves
me breathless to realise how professional this musical songwriter was. I have produced the show
and know the songs keep the show going because of their familiarity....but it does always need
a little fixing and updating. I put a catwalk around the orchestra to enable easy scene changes and to
bring the songs and performers closer to their audience. This gives the show a kick, and allows for
more glamorous sets. In this particular version they have cut "I'm an indian too" and "Colonel
Buffalo Bill" but included the two ingenue songs which always gave me problems on my
production. Added here, is "Old Fashioned wedding" which is a good duet for the two main leads
but gives them even more to do in the show. To get new audiences to appreciate it ...something
extra needs to be done. The CD is fine if sometimes Bernadette Peters over eggs some of the
lyrics but you won't find a better recording with it's updated orchestral performances. ****.
