Anything Goes
ANYTHING GOES Music & Lyrics by Cole Porter | Book by P.G. Wodehouse, Guy Bolton, Howard Lindsay, Russel Crouse, Timothy Crouse, John Weidman | Performance Dates: March 6 – 22, 2025
Anything Goes is set aboard the ocean liner S.S. American, where nightclub singer and ex-evangelist Reno Sweeney is en route from New York to England. Her pal Billy Crocker has stowed away to be near his love, wealthy debutante Hope Harcourt, who is engaged to Lord Evelyn Oakleigh. Joining this nautical love triangle are Moonface Martin (Public Enemy #13) and his sidekick, Erma. With the help of some elaborate disguises, goofy sailors, and a touch of blackmail, Reno and Martin join forces to help Billy win Hope’s heart.
