Music, dance, laughs and the age-old tale of boy meets girl 鈥� no musical puts it on stage better than "Anything Goes."
The S.S. American is sailing between New York and England with a comically colorful assemblage of passengers: Reno Sweeney, a popular nightclub singer and former evangelist, her pal Billy Crocker, a lovelorn Wall Street broker who has come aboard to try to win the favor of his beloved Hope Harcourt (who is engaged to another passenger, Sir Evelyn Oakleigh), and a second-rate conman named Moonface Martin, aka 鈥淧ublic Enemy #13.鈥� Song, dance and farcical antics ensue as Reno and Moonface try to help Billy win the love of his life.
The cast is led by Kalene 鈥淜oko鈥� Blanton, Trevor Seyl, Caroline Boesen, Caleb Freeman, Matthew Alexander and Xan Mattek, as well as a large singing and dancing cast of sailors, angels and passengers.
It's a hilarious shipboard romp, wrapped around one of Cole Porter鈥檚 most magical scores, with famous songs such as 鈥淚 Get a Kick Out of You鈥� and 鈥淏low Gabrielle Blow.鈥� (Rating: G)
The performance is guest directed and choreographed by New York City-based Bradley Allan Zarr.
