ANYTHING GOES Closes at Maltz Jupiter Theatre 3/28

By: BWW News Desk Mar. 28, 2010

It's delightful, it's delicious, and its de-lovely song list reads like a collection of Cole Porter's greatest hits.

The 1934 musical Anything Goes brings such tunes as You're the Top, I Get a Kick Out of You and Anything Goes to the Maltz Jupiter Theatre thru March 28.

The show, created in the midst of the Great Depression, provided just the kind of escape audiences needed from the economic troubles of the day.

Fast-forward 76 years to different troubled economic times, and Anything Goes still resonates with its mad-cap voyage on a cruise ship in which the passenger list includes an evangelist-turned-nightclub singer, a debutante and her mother, and a wealthy businessman. Stowaways include a gangster - disguised as a minister - and his moll, and the businessman's assistant, who tries to win the heart of the debutante. Unfortunately she is engaged to a foolish but wealthy Englishman.

The story, with its book by Guy Bolton and P.G. Wodehouse (revised by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse), has a lot going on. But the plot unfolds amid a series of slapstick scenes, songs and tap-dancing that keeps it going.

And bringing it all together is director/choreographer Marcia Milgrom Dodge, who leads a cast of 18. Music director is multiple Carbonell nominee Helen Gregory.

Tickets to Anything Goes are $40-$59 and may be purchased by calling (561) 575-2223 or logging on to www.jupitertheatre.org.
