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

ANYTHING GOES COMPOSER: Cole Porter LYRICIST: Cole Porter BOOK: Guy Bolton and P.G. Wodehouse, revisions by Howard Lindsay & Russell Crouse DIRECTOR: Howard Lindsay CHOREOGRAPHER: Robert Alton PRINCIPLE CAST: William Gaxton (Billy), Ethel Merman (Reno), Victor Moore (Moonface) OPENING DATE: Nov 21, 1934 CLOSING DATE: Nov 16, 1935 PERFORMANCES: 420 SYNOPSIS: Set on a luxury liner that is sailing from New York to London, Billy, a lovelorn stock broker, attempts to win back his true love, Hope, while being guided in matters of the heart by brassy entertainer Reno Sweeney. Robert W. Schneider argues that the oft-revived, oft-edited book musical, Anything Goes, houses a depth of social and political satire that was so topical and current upon its premiere that it is regularly overlooked by artists and audiences approaching the work. An in-depth analyses of Cole Porter's lyrics for select list songs in the show reveal commentary on American pop culture which align with the themes in the piece and suggest characters' milieu but, when studied more closely, hint at more subversive implications and taboo practices. The breakdowns demonstrate how a close reading of Anything Goes' score may provide readers with a sense of Porter's views on American life as well as his prowess as a lyricist. Robert W. Schneider holds academic appointments at Penn State University, New York Film Academy, and Mount Union University, as well as serving as the Artistic Director for The J2 Spotlight Musical Theater Company and as an original programming producer at Feinstein's/54 Below in New York City. He is the host of the podcasts Behind The Curtain: Broadway's Living Legends, Gay Card Revoked, and This Was A Thing. For the past fifteen years Robert has been one of the most prolific leaders of online education in the arts. He is a proud member of SDC, AEA, and AGVA.

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.

Set in the apartment of a lonely adult, the introduction of a balloon with personality proves to be too much for the grumpy, stuck-in-the-mud main character who tries to make the balloon go away. When it doesn't work and the balloon proves resilient, our hero slowly softens to the idea of having a friend, and suddenly we see the grumpiness fade away, and the power of simple non-judgmental presence and support to sweep to sweep away even the darkest of clouds on the rainiest of days. Uniquely suited for students in special education programs and non-English speakers, Balloonacy is highly engaging and entirely wordless.

There's so much more to black history than that black people were once slaves, that Martin Luther King made a famous speech called “I Have A Dream,” that there were riots in the 1960s, that segregation has ended, and the fact that Barack Obama got elected President. Black history and black history in Detroit and Michigan is richly textured, endlessly interesting, and completely interwoven with all our history in a way few people know about it. It's relevant, absolutely fascinating and something everyone should know about. Joining me to talk about it are three of the best experts in Detroit. Ken Coleman - a well-known local historian and author who is something of a living encyclopedia of African-American history in Detroit; his books include On This Day: African-American Life in Detroit. Dr. Keith Dye - an assistant professor of African-American Studies and History at the University of Michigan Dearborn; he is an expert on the history of 1960s activism and freedom movements, and especially on the Detroit beginnings of the reparations controversy more than half a century ago. Howard Lindsay - a Michigan native and an emeritus professor of history at DePaul University in Chicago who now lives in Southfield. He is the expert on how the original Henry Ford influenced the community of Inkster and the author of a book called A History of Black America.

Whether Valentine’s Day is your favorite winter holiday or you avoid it like the plague, there’s no debating it’s a big day for the world of food and hospitality. This week we’re bringing you the inside scoop on what the holiday means for the industry. We visit a dessert bar trying to avoid the clichés of champagne and chocolate and investigate how the holiday’s hues are affecting rosé sales. We get to the bottom of a rumor about diamonds (but not the ones you're thinking of), and explore the benefits of peanut punch, a Caribbean aphrodisiac. This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council. Meat + Three is powered by Simplecast.
For our second episode, we discuss Anything Goes (1934) with music and lyrics by Cole Porter, book by Guy Bolton and P.G. Wodehouse, heavily revised by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse. You genuinely don't need to have seen the show to enjoy this episode, as the plot of the musical is entirely irrelevant, and we play a few clips from the songs. If you want to know why the show is good, all you need to do is watch this one four-minute video of the 2011 Tony performance of the title song "Anything Goes," featuring Sutton Foster. Apologies for the very slight echo, that isn't in subsequent episodes.

The FORD THEATER, sponsored by the Ford Motor Company, presented hour long dramas first on NBC for one only season. The series moved to CBS for its second and last season. There were 39 NBC and 39 CBS hour- long shows (not verified). The show initially received an unfavorable review from the New York Times for poor script adaptation but was still highly rated for the actors' performance and overall production. The show was supposed to feature only original scripts but had to forgo that plan due to lack of quality material. The first season on NBC used radio actors under the direction of George Zachary. Martin Gabel announced the first show but was soon replaced by Kenneth Banghart. The second season, on CBS, used Hollywood screen actors in the lead roles, supported by radio actors. Fletcher Markle, who previously produced CBS's STUDIO ONE series, was the producer for the second season. Although a short series, it still has some of radio's best dramas.
