I don't remember if anyone mentioned Bryn Terfel in his Rodgers and
Hammerstein disk.  I thought he did a pretty good job, enough so that I
listened to it quite a bit!  I saw the South Bank documentary on him which
showed him rehearsing some of this -- he does the 'American accent' pretty
well most of the time, with a few sudden lapses, but he has the Broadway
showtune style down better than most opera artists (by quite a bit).
