Anything Goes at Metropolis
Set sail with Cole Porter's Tony Award-winning Classic Musical
Metropolis presents Cole Porter’s classic musical Anything Goes September 19 – November 2, 2019.
A high-seas romp showcasing one of Cole Porter’s most magical scores. Music, dance, and romance are set to the age old tale of boy meets girl in this breezy classic. The S.S. American sets sail from New York to London, hauling a cast of characters including night club singer Reno Sweeney, lovesick Wall Street broker Billy Crocker, and socialite Hope Harcourt with fiance Sir Evelyn Oakleigh. Among them is “Public Enemy #13” Moonface Martin, trying to make his getaway. These characters come together in a jumble of misunderstandings, love triangles and all around confusion. Porter’s genius radiates through incredible numbers like “You’re the Top,” “It’s De-Lovely” and more Broadway favorites. Melodies will delight, toes will tap and hearts will soar. Rated PG.
Regular run performances are now - November 2, 2019. Specific dates and times are listed below. Tickets are $40 for regular run shows and can be purchased online at MetropolisArts.com or by visiting or calling the Box Office at 847.577.2121.
