They Say All Music Guide

This disc features 14 previously released tracks pulled from the original cast recordings of Annie Get Your Gun, Dames at Sea, Anyone Can Whistle, Sunday in the Park with George, Song and Dance, Into the Woods, Mack and Mabel, and Gypsy. The compilation itself is unremarkable, but some hardcore fans might jump at the album insert, which includes an original interview with Bernadette Peters and photographs of the artist in various states of costume.
