Ghostlight Records has re-released the 2001 World Premiere Recording of Cole Porter's You Never Know in digital formats.
You Never Know is set in Paris in the heady days of 1929 just before the stock market crash. It takes place one evening in Baron Rommer’s elegant penthouse suite at the Hotel Ritz. Baron Rommer (Harry Groener) and his Butler, Gaston (David Garrison), switch roles so that the Butler can pursue a woman he believes is a Lady of a much higher class. It turns out that the Lady (Kristin Chenoweth) is actually a Maid, in the same class as the Butler. To further complicate matters, she’s the servant to a high society figure, Mme. Baltin (Donna McKechnie) who has captured the Baron’s heart. Rounding out the cast are Herr Baltin (Guy Haines), the requisite jealous husband and Ida (Angela Teek), a Josephine Baker-like actress headlining at the Folies Bergere. It is all singing, dancing, and slamming doors and a happy romantic ending.
