Directed by James Grenelle this Cole Porter musical saucily sails onto the St. Petersburg Little Theatre Stage.
 
The third offering of the season; it’s first class all the way as missionaries, millionaires, mobsters and molls mix it up during an ocean voyage filled with madcap antics and mistaken identities. The show features unforgettable songs like ‘You’re the top’, ‘Blow ,Gabriel, Blow’, ‘I Get a Kick Out of You’, ‘It’s Delovely’, and of course ‘Anything Goes’. This zany below deck farce follows the romantic antics of love sick stowaway Billy Cocker as he pursues heiress Hope Harcourt who is on the way to London to marry (for the money of course) Lord Evelyn Oakleigh, a hapless boring nobleman.  Meanwhile mobsters disguised as missionaries are on board and on the lam. Soon the passengers believe there is a famous mobster on board…Public Enemy #1 and the fun ensues as our crazy crew just keep getting more confused.
Do not miss the chance to see this delightful show!
It’s delovely!

I just wanted to say how much we enjoyed last night's performance.
The whole show was "Broadway" quality from the dancing, vocals and acting to the superb lighting and staging.
The director did an outstanding job with all the major components and the cast was well chosen and obviously had to rehearse extensively to coordinate all the dance moves. They looked very professional and had excellent voices.
Using tracks instead of live music went over well and I don't believe the audience even noticed the difference after the first few minutes of the production, if at all. I assume this was initially done to save money but I think it actually added to the experience as there was no distraction of musicians on stage to take the focus away from the "main event". The use of body mics was unobtrusive and not even apparent unless someone was specifically looking for them.
Congratulations and keep up the good work.
