Set to be a summer smash-hit, the major new production of Anything Goes is tap dancing its way across the Atlantic to the Barbican from July 2021 for a limited run.

One of the greatest musicals ever made, the new production stars multi-Tony-award winner Sutton Foster as Reno Sweeney and BAFTA, Tony and Olivier award winner Robert Lindsay as Moonface Martin.

Cole Porter and P.G. Wodehouse’s classic musical will transport you back to the Golden Age of high society at sea.

As the S.S American cruises between New York and England it’s not all smooth sailing as two unlikely couples set off on route to true love. Love doesn’t always run smoothly and sometimes destiny needs a little help from some good old-fashioned blackmail, some all-singing all-dancing sailors and elaborate disguises.

The dazzling production features some of musical theatres most beloved songs of all time, including I Get a Kick Out of You, You’re the Top, Anything Goes, Blow, Gabriel, Blow, Friendship, It’s De-Lovely and Buddie Beware. Anything Goes is the perfect musical comedy!
