Anything Goes National Tour 2012

     It has just been announced that in October of 2012 the Tony Award winning show Anything Goes will be leaving the Roundabout theater on Broadway to start its National Tour. Casting has not yet been released, but it has been rumored that Sutton Foster and Joel Grey will join the cast for a partial leg of the tour. This national tour is said to stop in over 25 cities. This revival features a new revised book by Timothy Crouse and John Weidman and score by Cole Porter. The original cast of this revival included both Sutton Foster and Joel Grey who helped the show win three Tony Awards including Best Revival of a Musical. The revival reopened this year on April 7th and will run until its close for the national tour.
     This version of the popular hit Anything Goes was both choreographed and directed by Kathleen Marshall. Marshall is also known for collaborating with her brother, choreographing for Damned Yankees and Seussical. She has also been seen as a guest judge for NBC's reality seres Grease: You're the One that I Want. Kathleen was nominated for the Tony Awards, Best Choreographer and Best Director and won Best Choreographer. She now has a total number of five different Tony Awards all between the years of 2004 and 2011 for her outstanding choreography.
     This show, Anything Goes, takes place upon a cruise ship where singers, run away criminals, and a bride to be get mixed up in a fun up beat story which has been revised and edited many times. This national tour will be the third revival national tour that this show has seen.
