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.

Featured review from Culture Bearer
view more less of this reviewThe plot was thin, and the music was not memorable. There were some very clever funny parts and a few very creative special effects. Some of the voices were exceptional, while others were just okay. I laughed several times and enjoyed myself, and I'm glad I saw it, but I wouldn't want to see it again and it won't be remembered among my favorites.

star this review starred report as inappropriateGreat event! It does have adult references but you could probably get away bringing your kids to it. It was very entertaining and I had no idea what would happen next.
It would help if you used to watch the show or the movie to understand the background. Parts of it reminded me of Fiddler on the Roof and Rocky Horror.
Great musical!!!

Description
The Addams Family is a smash-hit musical comedy that brings the darkly delirious world of Gomez, Morticia, Uncle Fester, Grandma, Wednesday, Pugsley and, of course, Lurch to spooky and spectacular life. This magnificently macabre new musical comedy is created by Jersey Boys authors Marshall Brickman & Rick Elice, Drama Desk–winning composer/lyricist Andrew Lippa (The Wild Party), choreographer Sergio Trujillo (Jersey Boys), and Olivier Award–winning director/designers Phelim McDermott & Julian Crouch (Shockheaded Peter) with creative consultation by four-time Tony Award® winner Jerry Zaks.
It's every parent's nightmare. Your little girl has suddenly become a young woman, and what's worse, has fallen deliriously in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family. Yes, Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has a "normal" boyfriend, and for parents Gomez and Morticia, this shocking development will turn the Addams house downside up.
Come meet the family. We'll leave the lights off for you…
Performance Timing: Act I runs 73 minutes; Intermission is 18 minutes; Act II runs 57 minutes.
