  • Anyone Can Whistle is a musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, and a book by Arthur Laurents. Described as "a satire on conformity and the insanity of the so-called sane," the show tells a story of an economically depressed town whose corrupt mayor decides to create a fake miracle in order to attract tourists. The phony miracle draws the attention of an emotionally inhibited nurse, a crowd of inmates from a local asylum, and a doctor with secrets of his own. Following a tryout period in Philadelphia, Anyone Can Whistle opened at the Majestic Theatre on Broadway on April 4, 1964. The show received widely varied reviews (including negative notices from the New York Times and the New York Herald Tribune), and closed after a run of 12 previews and 9 performances. The show's original run marked the stage musical debut of Angela Lansbury. In the decades since its closing, Anyone Can Whistle has seen relatively few productions compared to other Sondheim musicals; notable productions include a 1995 concert version at Carnegie Hall, a pair of stagings in London and Los Angeles in 2003 that incorporated revisions, and a 2010 concert staging for the Encores! program at New York City Center. However, its score has become acclaimed as a part of Sondheim's canon, and songs such as the title tune, "Everybody Says Don't", and "There Won't Be Trumpets" have been performed widely. (en)
  • Anyone Can Whistle est une comédie musicale avec de la musique et des paroles de Stephen Sondheim et un livret d'Arthur Laurents. Décrit par l'historien du théâtre Ken Mandelbaum comme « une satire sur la conformité et la folie des soi-disant sains d'esprit », le spectacle raconte l'histoire d'une ville économiquement déprimée dont le maire corrompu décide de créer un faux miracle afin d'attirer les touristes. Cela attire l'attention de Fay Apple, une infirmière émotionnellement inhibée, une foule de détenus d'un asile local appelé The Cookie Jar, et un médecin avec ses propres secrets. Après une période d'essai à Philadelphie, Anyone Can Whistle a ouvert au Majestic Theatre de Broadway le 4 avril 1964. Le spectacle a reçu des critiques très variées (y compris des avis négatifs du New York Times et du New York Herald Tribune et s'est terminé après une série de 12 avant-premières et 9 représentations. Au cours des décennies qui ont suivi sa fermeture, Anyone Can Whistle n'a pas été produit à l'échelle des autres comédies musicales de Sondheim ; les productions notables incluent une version concert en 1995 au Carnegie Hall, quelques productions à Londres et à Los Angeles en 2003 et une mise en scène pour un concert en 2010 pour les Encores!, un programme au centre-ville de New York. Le spectacle a marqué les débuts musicaux sur scène d'Angela Lansbury. (fr)
