Gunn High School Theater Program Announces Spring Musical 'Anything Goes!'

News from the Palo Alto Unified School District:

Nearly 110 student actors, crew members, and instrumentalists will be presenting the 1934 musical, Anything Goes!, written by Guy Bolton and P.G. Wodehouse.

The Palo Alto community is invited to enjoy performances from March 12-21 at the Spangenberg Theater.

Fans of Cole Porter’s music will enjoy delightful, delicious, and absolutely “de-lovely” songs throughout the production which earned this praise from the New York Times after opening night in 1934, “Take it from me, the Depression is over!’’

This joyous musical’s frothy, screwball plot set on a trans-Atlantic cruise ship will inspire you to sing along to its vintage champagne Cole Porter songs including: You’re the Top, I Get a Kick out of You, De‑lovely and Let’s Misbehave, among many others.

Gunn’s theatre director Jim Shelby shared, “It is such a joy to hear Cole Porter’s wondrous music every day at rehearsal and to watch these amazing kids tapping their hearts out. Anything Goes is one of the finest examples of American musical comedy, and I just love how thrilled the students are to be part of the show, whether they’re onstage, on the tech crew, or in the pit orchestra.”
