Much like Dixie Wilson-the character she played in Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice's Turn of the Century at Chicago's Goodman Theatre in 2008-actress Rachel York, the clarion-voiced leading lady whose timeless appeal has made her one of Broadway's most beloved stars, might be a time traveler. For certain, the woman who now plays Reno Sweeney in the national tour of Roundabout Theatre's acclaimed revival of Anything Goes, readily admits she could very possibly have been born in the wrong era, any and all science fiction possibilities notwithstanding.
Roundabout Theatre Company's national tour of the 2011 Tony Award winning Anything Goes, directed and choreographed by Tony Award winner Kathleen Marshall and starring critically acclaimed Broadway actress Rachel York as "Reno Sweeney," is now running at Cleveland's PlayhouseSquare as part of the KeyBank Broadway Series. Anything Goes is the winner of three Tony Awards, including Best Musical Revival. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the production photos below.
