Anything Goes: Cole Porter's Award-Winning Musical
- Full Price:
- $65.00 - $95.00
- Our Price:
- $39.00 - $57.00
Showcasing Cole Porter's signature wit and masterful composition, Roundabout Theatre Company's Tony-winning production of Anything Goes features beloved songs such as "I Get a Kick Out of You" and "You're the Top." This timeless tale of boy-meets-girl and the resulting roller coaster ride centers on Billy Crocker, who falls hopelessly in love with a wealthy heiress. When he sees her boarding a boat to London, he throws caution to the wind and becomes a stowaway. Madcap hijinks ensue when his fellow passengers, including the evangelist-turned-nightclub-singer Reno Sweeney and second-rate gangster Moonface Martin, decide to help Billy win his true love.

view more less of this reviewThe venue was great. There is not a bad seat in this 60 seat house. It was laborious to attend with full mental capacity since it is written in mid 19th century formal language without the use of contractions. If you appreciate Shakespearean-y dialog, then you may certainly delight in this love story.
star this review starred report as inappropriateCharming, delightfully produced play. Actors were of varied ability, but every one had a moment of something special. HUGE kudos to the actor who stepped in an young Elliott at the last moment...he was fantastic. The actress who played Anne carried the show. She is wonderfully sympathetic. The rest of the cast supported her ably, and the evening was a highlight of our holidays. Play needs a sharper transition from Act One to Act Two, but on the whole well done! A great experience at a bargain price.
star this review starred report as inappropriatethis is a nice small theatre, cozy, every seat is a good seat. the performance was wonderful. I expected a small amateur group , but it was so much more. Great costumes, great performance, very professional, i loved it. i could hear all the dialog very clearly. there are 18 actors and they did a wonderful job in moving themselves and the props smoothly on and off the stage. you must go see this , it is so much fun. Great personalities of all the characters .

I am a fan of this Austin story, so was able to follow. A good try at making the story into a play.
