New Broadway Revival Of Anything Goes Now In Previews

That's right theater fans. It's time to hop a board the S.S. American. Now believe it it not but I've never seen Anything Goes. In fact except for a couple of the songs I don't know that much about it except it takes place on a ship. What I do know is that this new Broadway revival is starring Tony winners and Broadway faves Sutton Foster and Joel Grey. That alone is reason enough for me to want to rush right out and get a ticket. I mean how can you not love Sutton Foster? Talented and adorable to boot. Throw in Joel Grey and you've got a winning combination.

Directed and choreographed by fellow Tony winner Kathleen Marshall Anything Goes begins previews tonight at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre. Opening night is set for April 7. The show which first premiered on Broadway in 1934 at the Neil Simon Theatre was last revived on Broadway in 1987 where it ran for a total of 784 performances and starred Broadway diva and two-time Tony winner Patti Lupone. This new production which is slated to run thru at least the end of July is being produced by the Roundabout Theatre Company.

Now while the Roundabout has had it's success with it's revivals of Cabaret,Nine,and The Pajama Game their production of Bye Bye Birdie was a critical flop and closed after a run of four months. Now while Kathleen Marshall is a two-time Tony winner her most recent production of Grease was one of the worst things that I have ever seen and that includes Spider-Man:Turn Off The Dark. Either way the show will probably do very well as it is the only other revival opening this season except for How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying.Plus I'm sure Sutton Foster will receive her usual Tony nomination for her work. We shall see. Until next time theatre fans.

Save On Broadway Revival Of Anything Goes This Spring

That's right theatre fans. One of Broadway's most loved musicals is set to return to the Great White Way this Spring. I am of course talking about the Anything Goes. The show which first premiered on Broadway in 1934 will begin previews at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre on March 10 with opening set for April 7. Headlining this new revival are Tony winners Sutton Foster and Joel Gray. For those of you who are not familiar with this award winning musical here is a brief synopsis about the show from it's website.

"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. Peppering this hilariously bumpy ride are some of musical theater's most memorable standards, including “I Get a Kick out of You,” “You're the Top,“ “It's De-lovely,” and of course, “Anything Goes.”

Makes want you to rush out and buy a ticket right now doesn't it? Now be advised that because the show is being produced by the Roundabout Theatre Company most of the central seats are reserved for their subscribers. The good thing is because the theatre is so small there is not a bad seat in the house. How many people can say that? Get your tickets to see Anything Goes. It's as American as apple pie.
