An earful of some of the best interpretations of the musical standards of both Hammerstein and Sondheim”- Thomas Provenzano, “L.A. Weekly”. Produced by four-time Grammy nominee Robben Ford and Anne’s musical director John Boswell, “Something Wonderful” is a loving tribute to two masterful songwriters for the American theater, Steven Sondheim and his mentor, Oscar Hammerstein. Recorded after Anne had performed this tribute to accolades across the country, the CD features two bonus encore tracks recorded live in San Francisco’s Plush Room. A musical actress with a Broadway resume, Anne returns to her roots with this recording and puts a new spin (with fresh arrangements by John Boswell) on familiar theater songs such as “Something’s Coming”, ‘Being Alive” and her personal favorite, “Bill”.
