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

This Sound Track is Ship-Shape July 26, 2006

What can one say? It's Cole Porter.
OTOH, I *bought* the CD because it features all the songs for Anything Goes, which I've been cast in. So for several days it was ALL I listened to. [We're also learning our tap routines to this sound track.] I haven't run screaming from the car yet.
Solid, entertaining, recording -- recommended without caveat.
Not Anything But One of the Best June 28, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have heared many recordings for Cole Porter 's " Anything Goes ", but I like this one the best. The opening song is a historic and rare recording by Cole himself. This CD is a revised version of this song that was played in Lincoln Center in New York. Pattie LuPone has a truly beautiful ,strong yet sentimental voice. I highly recommend it
A REAL CLASSIC! June 16, 2006
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
A real classic from the authorship of a B'way legend. A work like this has great relevance because it stands as a wonderful recording for one of the greatest classics of the musical theatre of all times. Voices and orchestrations are wonderful. The title song sounds great in the voice of Patti LuPone. A cultural treasure to keep and listen over and over again.
 revival is quick and snappy March 22, 2006
This recording strums along with a quick pace and Porters tunes are alive with energy and excitement. Patti Lupone can be a little harsh for some but she does the tunes justice. Its got some dance orchestration , but still missing most the dance sequence as most cd's do.
