Don’t you wish Cole Porter was around so that you could shake his hand and thank him for creating so many songs that are still a part of our musical culture today? Well Musicals Tonight! does that in a grand way with their superb production of ANYTHING GOES. This romantic farce takes place on a luxury liner where the pending marriage of Hope (Beth Stafford Laird) and Evelyn (Brian Ogilvie) is about to take place. But Billy Crocker (Nick Walker Jones) has other plans. Sexy Reno Sweeney (Meredith Inglesby) and two shady underworld figures (Jessica Moore and Carlos Lopez) assist in the plot to make sure the right boy gets the right girl. What ensues is a madcap comedy bedazzled by high-kicking choreography and tap dancing (Casey Colgan), sumptuous slinky costumes sparkling with sequins and “diamonds” (Jack Maisenbach), disguises galore, and of course the magnificent songs of Cole Porter. “I Get A Kick Out Of You,” “You’re The Top,” “It’s De-lovely,” and the title song are just a few of the gems in this winner.

ANYTHING GOES is a top-notch production that guarantees a good time is had by all.
