The National Theatre's Olivier Award
winning production of Cole Porter's Anything Goes,
directed by Trevor Nunn returns to London.
The Fabulous score includes I Get A Kick Out Of You,
You're The Top, It's Delovely, Blow Gabriel Blow,
You'd Be So Easy To Love, All Through The Night and
the title number Anything Goes, which in both music
and lyric captures the spirit of the age.
Among the passengers heading for England on the
luxury liner SS American are Reno Sweeney, a
sometime celebrity evangelist turned night-club
entertainer and Lord Oakleigh, a wealthy English
aristocrat, accompanied by his debutante fiancée,
Hope Harcourt, her protective mother and Will Street
Millionaire, Eli Whitney. Less legally on board are
the stowaway Billy Crocker, desperately pursuing
Hope, and Moonface Martin, Public Enemy Number
Thirteen, desperately seeking the kind of notoriety
enjoyed by Snake Eyes Johnson, whom the FBI believe
to be making the trip in disguise.
The first 'golden age' of American musical comedy in
the 1930's produced a crop of masterworks from the
Gershwins, Jerome Kern, Irving Berlin and Cole
Porter. Their content was intentionally and
exuberantly light-hearted, with farcical plots
concerning highly satirised characters, but they
nonetheless presented musical scores of exquisite
sophisticated and elegance.
