Anne says: "The nature of this through-composed musical meant that pre-records and miming were out of the question. So we devised a way for the cast to sing live on set without having an orchestra sititng in the wings! A brilliant sound team enabled this to happen and then the challenge was to add the full orchestration in post production. I was delighted that this achievement was recognised with a BAFTA and Oscar win for the sound team. "
