A madcap farce of pre-Depression dandies and mistaken identities, Cole Porter's 1929 musical You Never Know receives its world premiere recording based on a successful 1991 revival at the Pasadena Playhouse. This delightfully old-fashioned show is presented as a European-style chamber musical, with a small orchestra and only six players, anchored by Kristin Chenoweth (always so perfect in period roles), Harry Groener (Crazy for You), David Garrison, and Donna McKechnie (A Chorus Line). Fans of Porter song collections will recognize "Ridin' High" and "Let's Misbehave" (both borrowed for this production, in Porter tradition) and "At Long Last Love"; "What Shall I Do" is a Chenoweth charmer; and "From Alpha to Omega" will give you an overwhelming urge to dance the Charleston. --David Horiuchi
