New tickets for one of the greatest musicals in history and the most extravagant New Zealand stage show ever, ANYTHING GOES, have just been released.

The Cole Porter classic, to be staged at The Civic theatre, Auckland, from September 29-October 22, will feature one of the biggest casts ever assembled in New Zealand for a musical and will star the legendary RAY WOOLF and JACKIE CLARKE.

New tickets have been put on sale for the remainder of the season to give everyone a chance to see this visually spectacular, luxurious production that will thrust audiences back into the heady days of the 30s.

ANYTHING GOES is Cole Porter's nautical classic - one of the greatest musicals in Broadway history.

A saucy screwball musical that escapes into the madcap world of luxury cruising, where gangster meets priest, revivalist turns nightclub singer, and chaos ensues onboard a cruise ship sailing the high seas.

Telling the age-old tale of boy-meets-girl and the complications that ensue, Anything Goes will delight and intrigue every audience.

Set in the early 1930s onboard a cruise liner, the S.S. American, bound from New York to London, it carries an unusual group of passengers. Included amongst them are a gangster (Public Enemy #13 Moonface Martin), a wealthy debutante and her mother (Hope and Evangeline Harcourt), a nightclub singer (Reno Sweeny), a wealthy New York businessman (Elisha Whitney) and his stowaway assistant (Billy Crocker).

When Billy falls in love with heiress Hope, who is engaged to Lord Evelyn Oakleigh, he stows away, setting off a chain reaction of comedic consequences that has passengers and crew singing and dancing their way across the Atlantic. This crazy comedy is replete with disguises and mistaken identities and, eventually, four happy couples - a perfect mix for any classic Broadway musical.

The scale and beauty of this production has rarely been seen in New Zealand before. The S.S. American is one of the biggest sets ever constructed for a New Zealand musical and costuming has been done by former New Zealand and Australian Opera costume maker Alf Weston, who has also worked for Collette Dinnigan and Kate Sylvester.

This production will blow your mind!
