Two versions of Anything Goes are available for presentation: this 1962 version and the 2022 Revision, each based on the same story. Both may be accompanied by a piano, a small instrumental combo or a full orchestra. The 2022 Revision has twice as much dance music as this 1962 version. The 2022 Revision, based on the 1987 Lincoln Center production at the Vivian
Beaumont Theater, features a revised script, updated in light of
contemporary sensibilities. In the 2022 version, the race of the characters
is not pivotal to the plot. We encourage you to consider diversity and
inclusion in your casting choices.
Both versions include "I Get A Kick Out Of You," "You're The Top," "Bon Voyage," "Friendship," "It's De-Lovely," "Anything Goes," "Blow, Gabriel, Blow," "Be Like The Bluebird" and "All Through The Night." This 1962 version also includes "Heaven Hop," "Let's Step Out," "Let's Misbehave" and "Take Me Back To Manhattan." (The 2022 Revision also includes "Easy To Love," “Goodbye, Little Dream, Goodbye,” "The Gypsy in Me" and "Buddie Beware.")
