Medway High to Present Anything Goes March 13 & 14

Anchors aweigh! Cruising after last year’s sold-out productions, Medway High School goes back to the sea again to launch another fun and fast-paced spring musical, Anything Goes fea-turing music and lyrics by Cole Porter. Musical theater fans will get a kick out of this classic 1934 musical featuring antics aboard an ocean liner bound from New York to London. This one-weekend, three-show run will be held on Friday, March 13th at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, March 14th at 2 and 7:30 p.m. All shows will be held at Medway High School, 88 Summer Street, Med-way, Mass.
Anything Goes features showstopping shipboard musical numbers, tap dancing, showgirls and gangsters, romance and rhymes with a magical Cole Porter score. The S. S. American is sailing between New York and England with a comically colorful assemblage of passengers: Reno Sweeney, a popular nightclub singer and former evangelist, her pal Billy Crocker, a lovelorn Wall Street broker who has come aboard to try to win the favor of his beloved Hope Harcourt (who is engaged to another passenger, Sir Evelyn Oakleigh), and a second-rate conman named Moon-face Martin, aka “Public Enemy #13.” Song, dance, and farcical antics ensue as Reno and Moonface try to help Billy win the love of his life.
Tickets are $15 each, and are available for purchase online at BrownPaperTickets.com (search for Medway) starting February 14th. Tickets are also on sale in the lobby of Medway High on Sunday, March 8 from 10 a.m.- 1 p.m., or at the door approximately 60 minutes before each per-formance.
