COLE PORTER classic musical comedy Anything Goes will be performed at Ilkley's King's Hall next week.

Upstagers will transport audiences to a magical age of dance, high society and fabulous musical numbers all set aboard a cruise ship sailing from New York to Southampton.

When Billy Crocker discovers that his heart’s desire, debutante heiress Hope Harcourt, is engaged to English aristocrat Lord Evelyn Oakleigh, he stows away aboard the ship in order to win her back.

Aided by a string of eccentric passengers on board the luxury transatlantic liner - including the evangelist nightclub singer Reno Sweeney and not-so-notorious mobster Moonface Martin - can the web of love be untangled before they reach their destination?

Audiences are invited to hop on board between July 15 and 18, to meet sassy heroines, mischievous gangsters, comedy capers and dancing sailors in a hilarious tale of romance and high jinks on the high seas.

The show is Cole Porter’s uplifting masterpiece of music, dance and comedy and includes the magnificent songs, I Get A Kick Out Of You, You’re The Top, It’s De-Lovely and of course the title song, Anything Goes.

His music, lyrics and dialogue set a standard of sophistication and wit seldom matched in musical theatre. Anything Goes showcases his skills in a wilfully silly tale of love, deception and celebrity chasing.
