GET UR BALLET ON - By JEALOUS ANGEL (Official video)

"ANYTHING GOES" - at the Ahmanson Theater

When hearing the S.S.America's horn blast the ship ahoy signal, the audience of this musical comedy is about to have more fun than when really on the high seas.  photos: JOAN MARCUS Roundabout Theater Company

With Cole Porter's songs and a new book by Timothy Crouse and John Weidman, the setting is 1932, when life is good and the real celebrities carry tommy guns in their violin cases.  It is when their names are Baby Face and Moon Face.  And, the only criminal the Captain really wants on board is the #1 Wanted Man---Snake Eyes. 

It is no wonder that the show won Tony Awards, in 2011, for it's excellent production and talent.  Every character is so different and colorful and the laughter-filled audience is rooting for them all.    Even the orchestra pit gets involved.  By the look of his Captain's hat, it seems the leader could perform a marriage. 

   

This production could not be more scintillating!  An exquisite feast of setting and lighting, appropriately showcasing  the immense talent on board. 

   So, book your cruise...errr...theater tickets, as this spectacular romp ends January 6, 2013, at the Ahmanson Theater in Los Angeles.  This is one journey not to be missed.
