Chattanooga Theatre Centre MainStage is closing its season with Tony Award winner Cole Porter’s lively musical masterpiece from 1934, “Anything Goes.”
Director George Quick stages the 1987 Broadway revival version with a cast of 24 “passengers” capable of captivating the audience. Set aboard the ocean liner S.S. American, bound from New York to London, the romantic comedy comes alive with Quick’s direction and scenic design and Scott Dunlap’s costume design.
Choreographer Lindsay Fussell does a brilliant job leading this cast in impressive dance scenes with the incorporation of some great tap numbers.
The large musical fills the stage with several cast members deserving special notice.
Bobby Burkich makes his MainStage debut as stowaway Billy Crocker. Burkich is the perfect leading man with his suave good looks and his commanding versatility.
