Tony-Award winning Sutton Foster and Tony and Olivier Award-winning Robert Lindsay star in this major new production of Cole Porter and P. G. Wodehouse’s classic golden age musical, Anything Goes.

All aboard for this saucy and splendid major new production of Cole Porter and P. G. Wodehouse’s classic musical of pure escapism, Anything Goes. Featuring a joyful, gold-plated score of theatre’s most memorable standards, including ‘I Get A Kick Out of You’ and Anything Goes, it’s everything you want a big Broadway musical to be and more!

Making her West End debut is Broadway Royalty Sutton Foster, the internationally renowned star is reprising her Tony-Award winning role as the delectable Reno Sweeney, from the 2011 Broadway production. She will be joined by star of stage and screen Robert Lindsay (My Family), as Moonface Martin. Joining them in this all-star line-up, are acting royalty Felicity Kendal (The Good Life) as Evangeline Harcourt and West End Legend Gary Wilmot (Chicago) as Elisha Whitney.

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, a comical disguise and some good old-fashioned blackmail. This hilarious musical romp across the Atlantic featuring a collection of some of theatre’s most memorable songs - including ‘I Get A Kick Out of You’, ‘Anything Goes’, ‘You’re the Top’, ‘Blow, Gabriel, Blow’, ‘It’s De-Lovely’, ‘Friendship’ and ‘Buddie Beware’ - will take you back to the Golden Age of high society on the seas. Anything Goes is set to sail away with audiences all over again.
