The two-time Tony-winning Sutton Foster makes her highly-anticipated West End debut as Reno Sweeney in the London revival of Anything Goes at the Barbican. Anything Goes tickets in London are on sale now, with Anything Goes performances from 23 July to 31 October. Set to be the perfect antidote to lockdown blues, get ready to sail towards sunnier skies on the S. S. America.
Anything Goes is a musical set on a cruise liner heading from New York to London, but it’s not all smooth sailing. Sometimes destiny and the path to true love needs a bit of guidance, including a crew of singing and dancing sailors and disguises. Will stowaway Billy Crocker and heiress Hope Harcourt have their happy ending? Anything goes on board this ship.
The upcoming London musical revival of Anything Goes was first staged on Broadway in 2011, starring Foster as Reno Sweeney. On Broadway, Anything Goes won three Tony Awards, including Best Revival of a Musical.
Foster’s Broadway credits include Thoroughly Modern Millie, Violet and Shrek the Musical, playing the female lead role in all three. Foster is joined alongside stage veterans Robert Lindsay as Moonface Martin and Gary Wilmot as Elisha Whitney. Felicity Kendal makes her musical debut as Evangeline Harcourt, with full Anything Goes casting here.
Anything Goes features music by the iconic American composer and lyricist, Cole Porter. Songs in Anything Goes include “I Get A Kick Out of You”, “Friendship” and “You’re The Top”. Other notable songs by Cole Porter include “Too Darn Hot” from Kiss Me, Kate and “I’ve Got You Under My Skin”.
Anything Goes tickets in London are on sale now. Book Anything Goes tickets now.
