BROS Theatre Company brings you Anything Goes - a buoyant musical comedy set aboard the bustling ocean liner S.S. American, where glamorous nightclub singer Reno Sweeney is sailing from New York to England. Among the passengers is her friend Billy Crocker, who has secretly stowed away to pursue the woman he loves, Hope Harcourt. Unfortunately for Billy, Hope is engaged to the wealthy and eccentric Lord Evelyn Oakleigh, a match her mother Evangeline Harcourt is counting on to preserve the family’s social status.
Complicating matters further is the presence of Public Enemy #13, Moonface Martin, and his quick-witted accomplice Erma, who are hiding out on the ship while evading the law. When Billy’s romantic hopes seem doomed, Reno and Moonface step in to assist, plotting a series of clever schemes involving disguises, confusion, and a touch of blackmail. Their antics set off a chain of comic misadventures that sweep through the ship, drawing in a lively mix of sailors, angels, mischievous tricksters, and spirited passengers.
All the high-energy fun is anchored by Cole Porter’s unforgettable score, featuring beloved classics such as You’re the Top, I Get a Kick Out of You, Friendship, It’s De-Lovely, Blow, Gabriel, Blow, All Through the Night, and the iconic Anything Goes.
