Anything Goes

Posted

The CCHS Music Department and Drama Club sets sail with the delightful, Cole Porter, Tony Award-winning musical “Anything Goes” March 23rd - 26th 2023. This splendid madcap musical comedy features over 60 talented CCHS performers booked on a transatlantic luxury liner bound for romance and hilarity.

Set in 1934, the crazy cruise begins when popular nightclub singer and former evangelist, Reno Sweeney (Carson McLendon & Brielle Withers), bumps into a stowaway — her old pal Billy Crocker (Emerson Barth & Moses Usen).

Billy is a wannabe Wall Street broker seeking to win the heart of celebrity debutante, Hope Harcourt (Stephanie Alvarez & Mia Pagano), who just so happens to be traveling with her fiancé, the aristocratic Sir Evelyn Oakleigh (Patrick Devlin & Peter Samuelson).

For a dash of intrigue and chaos their fellow passengers include a second-rate gangster, Moonface Martin (Jacob Carter & Desmond Gillick), and his moll, Bonnie (Maddie D'Arco & Ciara Kelly), as they attempt to “help” Billy unite with Hope by including him in their charades to stay one step ahead of the law.

This tap-happy classic highlights dancing sailors, stoic passengers, and giddy angels. The cast falls in and out of love, dons disguises, and sings and dances their way across the Atlantic to a memorable score performed by over 30 CCHS musicians that includes favorite songs such as, "It's De-Lovely," "You're the Top," "Friendship," and, "Anything Goes."
