Via Wikipedia: Anything Goes is a musical with music and lyrics by Cole Porter. The original book was a collaborative effort by Guy Bolton and P. G. Wodehouse, revised considerably by the team of Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse.[1] The story concerns madcap antics aboard an ocean liner bound from New York to London. Billy Crocker is a stowaway in love with heiress Hope Harcourt, who is engaged to Lord Evelyn Oakleigh. Nightclub singer Reno Sweeney and Public Enemy Number 13, "Moonface" Martin, aid Billy in his quest to win Hope. The musical introduced such songs as "Anything Goes," "You're the Top," and "I Get a Kick Out of You." Since its 1934 debut at the Alvin Theatre (now known as the Neil Simon Theatre) on Broadway, the musical has been revived several times in the United States and Britain and filmed thrice. The musical has long been a popular choice for school and community productions. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/musicspeaks-podcast/support

This week we chat amongst ourselves about which of life's truths can be gleaned from the ship-board musical - Anything Goes!“If you try to imagine a grown-up Annie, of the musical by that name, you might easily find her to be a lot like Reno Sweeney, the lead character of Cole Porter’s “Anything Goes” — sassy and brassy, big-hearted and big-voiced. And still with red hair.It is no surprise, then, that Andrea McArdle, the original Broadway Annie, who won a 1977 Tony nomination for her performance, makes a smashing Reno. The role of the naughty nightclub singer was originated in 1934 by Ethel Merman.Ms. McArdle is the centerpiece of “Anything Goes” at the Gateway Playhouse in Bellport, but hardly its only asset. She is surrounded by other outstanding actors, a sparkling nautical set and fine musical accompaniment. Jayme McDaniel, the director, has melded all of the elements into a production filled with joyous energy.” - By Aileen Jacobson- FURTHER READING -Wiki - Musical, Cole Porter, Guy Bolton, P. G.

From Wichita State University comes the Cole Porter musical Anything Goes , directed by guest artist Bradley Allan Zarr. The idea for a musical set on board an ocean liner came from producer Vinton Freedley. Freedley had left the U.S. to avoid creditors, and at the time, was living on a boat. He asked P. G. Wodehouse and Guy Bolton to write the book, and he wanted Ethel Merman to star in it.
Pianist Robert Wyatt on Jerome Kern, the Godfather of American Musical Theater Art of Living series, Smithsonian Associates Our guest today, Robert Wyatt, an American music specialist, researcher and pianist, and presenter of the Smithsonian Associates event, Jerome Kern the godfather of American Musical Theater, says Jerome Kern did it all, and is where it all began… Jerome Kern first began to get some real attention when his hits such as “Ol man River,” which you're listening to now, sung by Paul Robeson, and Kern's work with collaborators, Oscar Hammerstein, Guy Bolton and P.G. Wodehouse, caught the music-loving public's attention with musicals that successfully wedded Kern's great music, lyrics, and libretto. Kern's transformative work with musicals such as his famous musical play Showboat, famous for “Ol Man River,” (which you're listening to now, sung by Paul Robeson) “Bill,” and “Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man of Mine.” As part of our Smithsonian Associates series, today we speak to pianist and research expert, Robert Wyatt, about Jerome Kern the godfather of American Musical Theater. Please join me in welcoming to The Not Old Better Show, Robert Wyatt, who'll be presenting at the Ripley Center, Washington, DC, May 18, 2017.
