About the Show

One of Broadway's most enduring musical comedies, Anything Goes brings high-society hijinks and madcap romance to the open seas. When a stowaway, a debutante, a celebrity evangelist, and a boatload of eccentric passengers collide, the result is a whirlwind of comedy, dance, and timeless songs.

Featuring music and lyrics by COLE PORTER with a book by GUY BOLTON and P. G. WODEHOUSE (with later revisions), this classic is pure, feel-good fun, packed with favorites and showstopping tap dance energy.

About This Production

Nebraska Communities Playhouse is presenting Anything Goes using the 2022 revised edition, based on the 1987 Lincoln Center revival. This officially published version includes updates intended to support flexible and inclusive casting while honoring the classic style, humor, and energy audiences expect.
