5.0 out of 5 stars excellent soundtrack with great vocals, January 9, 2004

This review is from: Annie Get Your Gun (1986 London Revival Cast) (Audio CD)

I highly recommend this cd soundtrack if West End musicals are your thing. Suzi Quatro gives a fine performance in her portrail of Annie Oakley.

Suzi shows her versatility, thus being her first stage role after being asked by Andrew Lloyd Webber, to play the part of Annie Oakley. Suzi gives a superb performance as well as reaching some of the high notes that the performance requires.

Suzi delivers the role paying total resemblance to the spirit of Annie Oakley character... Thanks Suzi Quatro for delivering a fine performance of this well loved character one that Dorothy Hutton would enjoy. It would be great to see this released on DVD in the near future...

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfectly fine British cast recording of the classic show., May 7, 2001

This is a perfectly fine recording of the 1986 British revival presented at the Chichester Festival Theatre. Suzie Quatro can't hit the high notes and can get a little raw at times but she acts the part well. Eric Flynn is a bit long in the tooth for Frank Butler but vocally he's fine. There are 18 tracks including the later interpolated OLD FASHIONED WEDDING. The two soubrette songs are eliminated. At 56:06 this is a nearly complete rendering and is recorded as are all the Chichester shows as if you are front row center with a typical pit orchestra. It stands with most recordings of the work and is a fine choice if you don't care for Merman or Hutton or Martin.

This review is from: ANNIE GET YOUR GUN (OCR) (Audio CD)

The 1986 Chichester Festival Theatre production of the Irving Berlin/Herbert and Dorothy Fields musical Annie Get Your Gun stars Suzi Quatro(best known to American audiences as Leather Tuscadero on tv's Happy Days) as the title character, Eric Flynn as Frank Butler and Edmund Hockridge. Despite a lackluster rendition of the overture, the production redeems itself with "Colonel Buffalo Bill" led so well by Maureen Scott as Dolly Tate. Flynn(a big baritone and a worthy successor to the role, sings much in the style of Ray Middleton, Stephen Douglass and Howard Keel) nails "I'm A Bad, Bad, Man", "The Girl That I Marry" and "My Defenses Are Down". One, however, can hardly expect Quatro to match Ethel Merman's powerhouse take-no-prisoners delivery. She is, perhaps, an understated light-weight, thankfully not as frenetic as film Annie, Betty Hutton, but seemingly more age appropriate. The strong ensemble brilliantly performs "There's No Business Like Show Business", "I Got The Sun In The Morning" and an energetic reprise of the former as a finale. I much prefer this recording to the most recent revival with Broadway diva Bernadette Peters.
