The Barn Theatre sets sail with the delightful, Tony Award-winning ANYTHING GOES July 5 - 16.
Starring as the brassy Nightclub singer is Melissa Cotton Hunter as Reno Sweeney. The starry-eyed stowaway, Billy, is portrayed by Aaron Czarnecki, and Public Enemy No. 13, Moonface Martin is John Jay Espino. This splendid madcap musical comedy is booked on a transatlantic luxury liner bound for romance and hilarity. Topping off the fun is Cole Porter’s delightful, delicious, “De-Lovely” first-class score that includes some of musical theatre’s greatest hits, including “I Get A Kick Out Of You,” “You’re The Top,” and of course, “Anything Goes.” ANYTHING GOES features music and lyrics by Cole Porter with original book by Guy Bolton, P.G. Wodehouse, Howard Lindsay, and Russel Crouse and new book by Timothy Crouse and John Weidman. Featured in the cast are first year apprentice Melina Walko as Hope Harcourt, second year Michael Richards as Lord Evelyn Oakleigh, Penelope Alex as Evangeline Harcourt, and Steven Lee Burright as Elisha Whitney.
