This version of Anything Goes was adapted from the 1987 Broadway revival, originally produced by Lincoln Center Theater
Anything Goes is set aboard an ocean liner in the 1930s and follows the romantic escapades of an eccentric cast of characters. As they sail across the Atlantic, love triangles, mistaken identities, and hilarious antics ensue. The musical delivers a whirlwind of romance, mischief, and unexpected twists. Music, dance, laughs and the age-old tale of boy meets girl...
Anything Goes is delightful, delicious and de-lovely!
