Programming a season is always a bit of a balancing act. The goal is to be true to Roundabout's mission while providing our audience with an exciting range of work over the course of each year. I'd say that we generally do one big musical revival each year, and that always fits nicely in balance with the classic play revivals and new play work that we're doing. To me, it's exciting to be producing this great piece of musical theatre at the same time that we'll be running plays by Oscar Wilde and Tennessee Williams. That's exactly the kind of range that I think the audience is looking for. Anything Goes, with its great Cole Porter score, is a perfect representative of traditional musicals from the "Golden Age." It really goes to the heart and soul of why we started producing musical revivals back in 1993. As a truly American art form, it's so important that we bring these musicals back to the stage, and since Anything Goes hasn't been seen on Broadway in more than two decades, it's time to share this show with a new generation.
