Anything Goes (2022 Revision)

The score features beloved standards such as You’re the Top and the title number. This edition is adapted from the 1987 Broadway revival originally produced by Lincoln Center Theater. It features music and lyrics by Cole Porter, an original book by P. G. Wodehouse and Guy Bolton with Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse, and a new book by Timothy Crouse and John Weidman.
