Anything Goes! July 20 -28 5 shows 2 Weekends
Westfield Summer Stage celebrates 12 years of summer musicals with the classic Cole Porter musical comedy ANYTHING GOES , which taps its way to the Westfield High School stage for five performances July 20, 21, 27, 28 at 7:30 pm and July 22 at 2 pm. All performances are at Westfield High School in Chantilly, Virginia. Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 at the door. Seating is reserved. Buy tickets online at www.westfieldtheatreboosters.com
ANYTHING GOES is a saucy and splendid production of Cole Porter’s musical romp across the Atlantic. When the S.S. American heads out to sea, etiquette and convention head out the portholes as two unlikely pairs set off on the course of true love — proving that sometime destiny needs a little help from a crew of singing sailors, an exotic disguise, and some good old-fashioned blackmail.
Stowaway Billy Crocker ( Colby Dezelick ) is out to win back true love Hope Harcourt ( Rachel Shirley ) from Lord Evelyn Oakleigh ( Joshua Ewalt ), with the help of singer-turned-evangelist Reno Sweeney ( Katelyn Reimer ), wanted gangster Moonface Martin ( Julian Sanchez ), and Moonface’s girlfriend Bonnie Letour ( Corinne Holland ). Along for the ride are a minister ( Jake Ehrlich ) and his shady converts ( Estella Massey, Olivia Witt ), a hapless captain ( Chaz Coffin ) and a harried purser ( Brandon Sanchez ). Peppering this hilariously bumpy ride are some of musical theatre’s most memorable standards, including “You’re the Top,” “Blow, Gabriel, Blow,” “It’s De-Lovely,” “I Get A Kick Out of You,” and “Anything Goes.”
The show features 56 actors ranging from grades 7 to 12 from more than 15 area schools. The cast also includes recent Class of 2012 graduates.
