High Jink and High Romance on the High Seas
Anything Goes is an uproarious comedy, wrapped around one of Cole Porter's most magical scores. The story concerns the madcap antics aboard the S.S. American, bound from New York to London. Billy Crocker is a stowaway in love with heiress Hope Harcourt, who is engaged to Lord Evelyn Oakleigh. Nightclub singer Reno Sweeney and Moonface Martin (Public Enemy #13) aid Billy in his quest to win Hope. Musical comedy bliss at its very best.

Besides its classic title song, Anything Goes spotlights some of Porter's greatest hits, including It's Delovely, Friendship, I Get a Kick Out of You, All Through The Night, Blow, Gabriel, Blow and You're The Top.

Music and lyrics by Cole Porter. Original book by P.G. Wodehouse, Guy Bolton, Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse
New book by Timothy Crouse and John Weidman.

FMT's production of Anything Goes is directed by Jay Manley with musical direction by Catherine Snider, choreography by Dottie Lester-White, set design by Joe Ragey, costume design by Janis Bergmann and lighting design by Kurt Landisman.

Parking Lots 1, 5 and 8 provide access to the theatre. A $2 parking permit is required at all times. Yellow permit dispensing machines may be found in all parking lots. At all Sunday matinees, a free shuttle bus will operate from Lot 1 to the theatre at 10-minute intervals.
