Anything Goes is a classic musical set aboard the ocean liner S.S. American in the 1930s. The story follows the madcap adventures of passengers and crew members as they navigate love, mistaken identities, and comedic misunderstandings. At the center of the chaos is Billy Crocker, a young Wall Street broker, who stows away on the ship to pursue the woman of his dreams, Hope Harcourt. However, Hope is engaged to the wealthy but comically inept Lord Evelyn Oakleigh. The situation becomes even more complicated when nightclub singer Reno Sweeney, who harbors feelings for Billy, gets involved. As the ship sails from New York to London, the characters find themselves entangled in a whirlwind of romance and hilarity, all set to the iconic music and lyrics of Cole Porter. The musical is known for its catchy tunes, witty dialogue, and dazzling dance numbers, making it a timeless and entertaining theatrical experience. This 2022 Revision has twice as much dance music as the 1962 version and includes the hits "I Get a Kick Out of You," "You're the Top," "Friendship," "It's De-Lovely" and the title song, along with "Easy to Love," “Goodbye, Little Dream, Goodbye” and "Buddie, Beware."
