Anything Goes - 2011 - Broadway History , Info & More

ALL ABOARD for this saucy and splendid new production of Cole Porter's musical romp across the Atlantic! When the S.S. American heads out to sea, etiquette and convention head out the portholes as two unlikely pairs set off on the course to true love... proving that sometimes destiny needs a little help from a crew of singing sailors, an exotic disguise and some good old-fashioned blackmail. Peppering this hilariously bumpy ride are some of musical theater's most memorable standards, including “I Get a Kick out of You,” “You're the Top,“ “It's De-lovely,” and of course, “Anything Goes.”

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Anything Goes

"Anything Goes"
9 / 10

Bathed in lush lavender lights it's all very inviting up there. Director/choreographer Kathleen Marshall completes the picture with her knockout staging of the two biggest numbers 'Anything Goes' and 'Blow Gabriel Blow' featuring some fancy dancing from her star. My favorites though were the deliciously delightful duets, 'You're The Top' and 'It's De-Lovely.'

Sutton Foster's Got the Zowie
7 / 10

Ms. Marshall, who did so well by 'The Pajama Game' and 'Wonderful Town,' takes a while to get going this time around, perhaps because the book is stale...'Anything Goes' has the air of a safe option, a risk-free show designed to take the minimum number of chances and please the maximum number of people. That it succeeds in the latter goal is mainly due to Ms. Foster (and, of course, Cole Porter). Her Reno Sweeney is definitely worth the price of two tickets.

Hal Linden is the Tony Award winning and multiple Golden Globe and Emmy nominated star whose decades-long career has spanned all theatrical genres, from stage to film to television.

His Broadway debut was opposite Judy Holliday in Bells Are Ringing and he later went on to a critically acclaimed performance in the revival of Anything Goes and his Tony-winning star turn in The Rothchilds.
