A madcap farce set in the 1930s on an ocean liner bound for London from New York, Anything Goes boasts a brilliant script, delightfully witty songs, and huge dance numbers. The S.S. American, sailing from New York to England, carries an unusual group of passengers, amongst them a gangster, a wealthy debutante and her mother, a nightclub singer, and a New York businessman and his stowaway assistant. A group of sailors and passengers contribute to the antics, which include plenty of romance, zany disguises, and a rousing revival. The score features numerous classic Cole Porter songs, including I Get a Kick Out of You; You're the Top; and It's Delovely.
