Synopsis:
This classic Cole Porter musical comedy features a plot that centers on the hijinks of passengers sailing on the S.S. American from New York to England. Among those on board are Reno Sweeney, a sometime celebrity evangelist turned entertainer, and Lord Oakleigh, a wealthy English aristocrat, accompanied by his debutante fiancée, Hope Harcourt, her protective mother, and Wall 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 believes to be making the trip in disguise.
'Anything Goes' features the musical numbers 'I Get a Kick Out of You' and 'You’re the Top,' as well as the title number, 'Anything Goes.'
