West Chester East Theatre Company announces their 2023 production, ANYTHING GOES – the 2022 revision! Performances are March 9 – March 12, 2023 at West Chester East High School (450 Ellis Lane, West Chester PA).
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. A hilarious shipboard romp wrapped in one of Cole Porter’s most magical scores. Music, dance, laughs and the age-old tale of boy meets girl… Anything Goes is delightful, delicious and de-lovely. Music & 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. Tickets available at www.wcasd.net/EASTTHEATRE
