Music, dance, laughs, and the age-old tale of Boy Meets Girl… Anything Goes is Delightful, Delicious and De-Lovely!
The age-old tale of boy meets girl. The score to the shenanigans-at-high-seas story includes a bevy of old-school delights, including the messianic barn-burner Blow, Gabriel, Blow, the whimsically romantic It’s De-lovely and the unstoppable title tune. ANYTHING GOES exists to put a daffy grin on your face…if you’re looking for sheer escape, this is your ticket!
