“Anything Goes” is a popular musical, with music and lyrics by Cole Porter. The story focuses on an ocean liner traveling from New York to London, and the various passengers on board. Among these are Billy Crocker, a stowaway following his true love, Hope Harcourt, an heiress. Unfortunately Hope is engaged to be married to Lord Evelyn Oakleigh who is also on board. The passengers long to be recognized as hobnobbing with celebrities, and when they find out Public Enemies are on board, they are thrilled.

Through it all, Reno Sweeney and the cast sing and dance popular numbers such as “Anything Goes,” “You’re the Top,” and “I Get a Kick Out of You.”
