ANYTHING GOES

Jun 13, 2023 - Jun 18, 2023

Benedum Center

Music and Lyrics by Cole Porter, Original Book by P.G. Wodehouse & Guy Bolton and Howard Lindsay & Russel Crouse, New Book by Timothy Crouse & John Weidman

Traffic Alert: Please note that there will be an extreme influx of visitors downtown Friday, June 16 & Saturday, June 17. Please allow yourself as much travel time as possible to get to your performance. The performance will begin on time.

“All ashore that’s going ashore!” Put on those tap shoes and hop on board the S.S. American for the hilarious shipboard romp wrapped in a timeless Cole Porter score. It’s delightful, delicious, and de-lovely!

As the S.S. American heads out to sea, hilarity and on-board antics ensue! On the passenger list is Reno Sweeney: a popular nightclub singer and former evangelist, her pal Billy Crocker: a lovelorn Wall Street broker who has stowed away on the ship to try to win over his beloved Hope Harcourt (a debutante who is engaged to another passenger, Lord Evelyn Oakleigh), and a second-rate conman, “Moonface Martin.” With the help of some elaborate disguises, tap-dancing sailors, and good old-fashioned blackmail, Reno and Moonface join forces to help Billy in his quest to win Hope’s heart. This hilarious musical romp across the Atlantic features a joyful Cole Porter score, including “De-Lovely,”  “I Get A Kick Out of You,” “You’re the Top,” and the show-stopping title number “Anything Goes.”
