Music and Lyrics by Cole Porter,&nbsp;Original Book by P.G. Wodehouse &amp; Guy Bolton&nbsp;and Howard Lindsay &amp; Russel Crouse


New Book by Timothy Crouse &amp; John Weidman
Anything Goes (2022 Revision) is a vibrant, dance-heavy version of Cole Porter's classic musical about romance and mistaken identities aboard the S.S. American, following stowaway Billy Crocker's quest to win heiress Hope Harcourt from her stuffy fiancé, with help from singer Reno Sweeney and gangster "Moonface" Martin, all set to iconic songs like "You're the Top" and the title track, with the 2022 revision updating the book for modern audiences and boosting its dance numbers. 
This version of Anything Goes was adapted from the 1987 Broadway revival, originally produced by Lincoln Center Theater.
ANYTHING GOES is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Tams-Witmark LLC.<a href="https://www.concordtheatricals.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.concordtheatricals.com</a>
The 2022/2021 revival of Anything Goes is generally considered appropriate for ages 10+ and often rated PG, offering a fun, tap-heavy, and witty romantic comedy. While it contains mild adult humor, innuendo, and references to alcohol/smoking typical of the 1930s setting, it lacks heavy violence or explicit scenes
