Spring 2010 sees AOS unveil its production of Anything Goes, a fantastic show packed full of well-known Cole Porter tunes, comedy and dancing. Set aboard the ocean liner SS American, sailing from New York to London, it tells the story of Billy Crocker, who stows away aboard the ship in pursuit of the heiress Hope Harcourt. She is engaged to the English peer, Lord Evelyn Oakleigh. Billy’s situation looks hopeless, but luckily he’s able to call on the assistance of his friend Reno Sweeney, a nightclub singer and reformed evangelist, and the gangster ‘Moonface’ Martin, Public Enemy #13.

 

Originally produced in 1934, Anything Goes was revived to great acclaim on Broadway in 1987, with Patti Lupone in the role of Reno Sweeney, and again in 2003 in a West End production starring John Barrowman as Billy Crocker.

 

We can promise you a great night’s entertainment in the Amey Theatre, so do please book your tickets now!!!
