The age-old tale of boy-meets-girl and the complications that ensue intrigue every audience, and no musical puts it on stage better than Anything Goes. This show is an amusing
story wrapped around one of Cole Porter's magical scores, including "I Get a Kick Out of You," "Anything Goes," "All Through the Night," "You're the Top" and "Blow, Gabriel, Blow." It's a wonder that all the romances are sorted out and disaster is averted aboard the magical ship where ANYTHING GOES!
