Anything Goes

September 18, 2026 — September 27, 2026

Packed with Cole Porter favorites like “I Get a Kick Out of You,” “You’re the Top,” “Friendship,” “It’s De-Lovely,” and the iconic title song “Anything Goes,” this tap-dancing, laugh-out-loud musical adventure is delightful, delicious, and de-lovely!

The hilarious high-seas musical comedy Anything Goes features a dazzling score, mistaken identities, mismatched romances, and plenty of shipboard shenanigans.

Music and Lyrics by Cole Porter
Original Book by P.G. Wodehouse & Guy Bolton and Howard Lindsay & Russel Crouse
New Book by Timothy Crouse & John Weidman

ANYTHING GOES is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Tams-Witmark LLC. www.concordtheatricals.com
