Anything Goes!

Published: Friday, 18 July 2025

Stage Notes proudly presents Cole Porter’s Anything Goes. We are presenting the 2022 version of this hilarious shipboard romp, which features a revised script, updated in light of contemporary sensibilities. It’s 1934 and the S. S. American is sailing between New York and England with a comically colorful assemblage of passengers: Reno Sweeney, a popular nightclub singer and former evangelist, her pal Billy Crocker, a lovelorn Wall Street broker who has come aboard to try to win the favor of his beloved Hope Harcourt (who is engaged to another passenger, Sir Evelyn Oakleigh), and a second-rate conman named Moonface Martin, aka “Public Enemy #13.” Song, dance, and farcical antics ensue as Reno and Moonface try to help Billy win the love of his life.
