[RATED G] for All Audiences

ALL ABOARD for Cole Porter's Tony Award-winning 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 sometimes destiny needs a little help from a crew of singing sailors, exotic disguises and some good old-fashioned blackmail. Peppering this hilariously bumpy ride are some of musical theater'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". You'll be tapping your toes to this tap dancers delight!

Local reviews
FORT COLLINS COLORADOAN
"From its beloved music to its crazy storyline, Cole Porter's musical "Anything Goes" - being performed at Candlelight Dinner Playhouse - is awash in talent and fun, hooking the audience from the start."

"Actress Melissa Swift-Sawyer lights up the stage and brings down the house as Reno Sweeney, the former evangelist. Sawyer's voice is powerful, and she raises the roof with "Blow, Gabriel, Blow" in the Second Act after enchanting the audience with "I Get A Kick Out of You" and "Anything Goes" earlier in the show".

GREELEY TRIBUNE
"There are numerous musical highlights in this production ... the huge song and tap extravaganza "Anything Goes," which closes out the first half with a buzz."

"First impressions are powerful in theatre, and the nine-piece orchestra make a wonderful statement with the overture. This is exactly what live theater should always be like."

CHEYENNE EAGLE TRIBUNE
"In my life, I have seen some incredible performances ... I saw a feat on Sunday that jumps to the top of the list: The production of "Anything Goes," staged by the Candlelight Dinner Playhouse."

"This is one of the best shows I have ever seen. The cast was spot on. The orchestra right there with the cast."

"The quality of "Anything Goes," from top to bottom, matches any show I have seen at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. That includes "The Lion King' and "West Side Story."

"I also try to find a negative in what I see, and I can't find one in this performance."
