Today is Thursday, April 7, marking the official opening night performance of the Roundabout Theatre Company's revival of Anything Goes, the Cole Porter musical about the lovers, liars and clowns on a transatlantic cruise, starring Sutton Foster, Joel Grey, Laura Osnes and Colin Donnell. With previews that began on March 10 at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre, under the direction of Tony winner Kathleen Marshall.
Foster plays Reno, whose love interest is Lord Evelyn Oakleigh, played by British star Adam Godley. Tony winner Joel Grey plays a low-grade, charming public enemy named Moonface Martin. Laura Osnes plays Hope Harcourt, the ingenue sought by Billy Crocker (played by Colin Donnell). John McMartin plays Elisha Whitney, who is smitten with Hope's mother, Evangeline, played by Jessica Walter.
The company also features Walter Charles as the Captain, Jessica Stone as man-trap Erma, Robert Creighton as Purser, Andrew Cao as Luke, Raymond J. Lee as John, with Clyde Alves, Ward Billeisen, Joyce Chittick, Nikki Renée Daniels, Margot De La Barre, Kimberly Fauré, Josh Franklin, Justin Greer, Daniel J. Edwards, Tari Kelly, Shina Ann Morris, Linda Mugleston, Kevin Munhall, Adam Perry, William Ryall, Jennifer Savelli, Anthony Wayne and Kristen Beth Williams.
According to Roundabout's production notes: "When the S.S. American heads out to sea, etiquette and convention head out the portholes as two unlikely pairs set off on the course to true love… proving that sometimes destiny needs a little help from a crew of singing sailors, an exotic disguise and some good old-fashioned blackmail."
My best to all involved!
