Anything Goes is a family friendly musical with music and lyrics by Cole Porter. The original book, written by Guy Bolton and P.G. Wodehouse, was heavily revised for Broadway by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse.

The story is about the madcap antics aboard an ocean liner, the SS American, bound from New York to England. The musical introduced now classic popular songs including: “Anything Goes”, “You’re The Top”, “It’s De’ Lovely” and “I Get a Kick out of You.”

Since its 1934 Broadway debut, the musical has been revived several times in the United States and Great Britain, and has been filmed twice. The musical has long been a popular choice for school and community productions.
