Cole Porter's Anything Goes
Wed, 11 May 2005, 11:11 pmHey folks,
Since it isn't listed and it deserves to be:
ANYTHING GOES
The Gold Coast Little Theatre
Until May 21st
I've just witnessed this show for the first time after being mesmerised by recordings of the score for many years.
Simply put, it surpassed my expectations entirely. Whilst I won't bother to praise the score as it's undoubtedly in all your musical lexicons, I will say that most of the cast was terrific and larger than life in the comical rhythm of this 1934 romp.
Moonface Martin (Mark Emmett) was how I've always pictured him and his Bronx-gangster vernacular was right on key, or should I say right off-key?
Reno (Arlie McCormick) could sure belt a tune and Billy (Dean Giltman) had that all-American self-assurance that was necessarily palpable.
Lord Evelyn (Steven Tandy), the Harcourts (Tamara Pooley and Del Halpin), Erma (Amy Thompson), the Captain (John Ellot), Whitney (John Rees-Osborne) were all mischievously and hilariously brilliant.
As for the Angels... Ooh-la-la, where can I find Virtue's (Riely Saville) number?
In any case, it's a hoot. Go check it out.
