All Aboard for the Orpheus Production of ‘Anything Goes’
ONEONTA—The high seas are set for laughter, romance, and show-stopping musical numbers as Orpheus Theatre presents “Anything Goes” at the Bettiol Theatre Mainstage at Foothills Performing Arts and Civic Center next month. This beloved Broadway classic, featuring the iconic music of Cole Porter, promises an evening of toe-tapping entertainment and comedic mischief aboard the S.S. American.
According to a press release, audiences will follow the adventures of Billy Crocker, a charming young stowaway determined to win the heart of Hope Harcourt, who is unfortunately engaged to the stuffy Lord Evelyn Oakleigh. Meanwhile, the dazzling and quick-witted nightclub singer Reno Sweeney brings her signature style to the voyage, aided by the bumbling gangster Moonface Martin. With mistaken identities, outrageous disguises, and a cast of eccentric characters, “Anything Goes” is a delightful ride packed with humor and unforgettable melodies.
Helming this production are co-directors and music directors Kerri Hogle and Tim Iversen, with choreography led by tap specialist Tiffany Gardner. Together, they have assembled a talented cast from across the region to bring this timeless musical to life on stage, officials said.
Performances will take place at the Foothills’ Bettiol Theatre Mainstage, with show times on Friday, May 2 and Saturday, May 3 at 7:30 p.m. and a matinee on Sunday, May 4 at 3 p.m.
Tickets are available at www.OrpheusTheatre.org, with reserved seating priced at $20.00 for adults, $15.00 for seniors (65+), and $10.00 for students (17 and under). Any remaining tickets will be sold at the door one hour before show time at a slightly increased price. Theatre-goers are encouraged to arrive early, as ticket sales end five minutes before the curtain rises.
