Broadway In Annapolis: “Anything Goes” Feb. 10-11

Broadway comes back to Annapolis with Cole Porter’s “Anything Goes,” a rollicking musical love story that takes place on a cruise ship sailing the high seas.  On February 10-11 at Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts, J. Ernest Green conducts members of the Annapolis Chorale, The Annapolis Chamber Orchestra and a cast of accomplished singer/actors in this multiple Tony Award-winner.  With a book by Guy Bolton, PG Wodehouse, Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse and some of Porter’s finest and most memorable songs, “Anything Goes” includes the title song as well as “You’re the Top,” It’s De-Lovely,” “I Get a Kick Out of You,” “Let’s Misbehave” and “All Through the Night,” just to name a few.  Joining Mr. Green for this production are a bevy of audience favorites, including Jason Buckwalter, seen earlier this season as Dick Deadeye in “HMS Pinafore,” Sarah Kate Walston, also seen in “HMS Pinafore,” Tom Magette, Molly Moore Green, John Halmi, Laurie Hays, Eric Alexis and newcomers Kimberly Christie and Duncan Hood.   Returning to Live Arts Maryland for a second appearance are several talented young dancers from StageWorkz, directed by Vicki Smith.
