All aboard for the saucy and splendid new production of one of the greatest musicals in Broadway history. Cole Porter’s classic stars Tony Award® winner Sutton Foster (Thoroughly Modern Millie, The Drowsy Chaperone) and Tony Award and Academy Award® winner Joel Grey (Cabaret, Wicked), and is directed and choreographed by Tony Award winner Kathleen Marshall (The Pajama Game, Grease)! As the S.S. American heads out to sea, two unlikely pairs set off on the course to true love…proving that sometimes destiny needs a little help from a crew of singing sailors, an exotic disguise and some good old-fashioned blackmail. Peppering this hilariously bumpy ride are some musical theatre’s most memorable standards, including “I Get A Kick out of You,” “It’s De-lovely” and of course, “Anything Goes.” « less
