Principal cast includes: Thelma Ritter (Marthy); Gwen Verdon (Anna); Cameron Prud'homme (Chris); George Wallace (Mat). Recorded in Webster Hall, New York on May 26, 1957. Includes liner notes by Steve Korte and Emily King. All songs by Bob Merrill. Eugene O'Neill's Anna Christie is unusually dark material for a 1950s Broadway musical comedy, and that problem was never really overcome in this show, which turned out to be a star vehicle designed for Gwen Verdon after she became a marquee name with her performance in Damn Yankees. The score was by Bob Merrill, and as this cast album shows, it is unremarkable. Although the show ran for a year and turned a profit on star power, it has never had a major revival and is now nearly forgotten. New Girl In Town was reissued on CD on July 19, 1994. ~ William Ruhlmann
