ANYTHING GOES, Theatre
Royal Drury Lane, Catherine Street |
| Trevor Nunn's critically acclaimed production of Anything
Goes will get many new fans! Set on the S.S American - a luxury
liner heading for England - the perfunctory plot of Anything
Goes tells the tale of stowaway Billy Crocker, and his desperate
pursuit of Hope Harcourt, the debutante fianc?e of English
aristocrat Lord Oakleigh. Also thrown into the mixing pot
of characters are Moonface Martin (Public Enemy Number Thirteen)
and a smattering of FBI agents. Although the plot sets up
many moments of high farce, it is for its musical score that
Anything Goes stands out. The show is peppered with classic
tracks such as: I Get A Kick Out Of You, It's De-Lovely, All
Through The Night and the title number Anything Goes. |
