| I don't think anyone listens to the OBC of Anyone Can Whistle for great singing. Lansbury was acceptable but had some serious voice lessons before Mame which improved her singing, Remick was never known as a musical theater gal, and Harry Guardino makes me want to hear an a list baritone in the part. All three roles were more strongly sung in the concert version but I simply can't wait to hear the Jay recording, hoping it really knocks it out of the park. None of this is meant to imply the performances on the OBC are not for the ages, but neither are the roles strongly sung. |
