News: Sutton Foster to reprise her role as Reno Sweeney in Anything Goes at the Barbican

It has been announced that Broadway legend Sutton Foster is set to reprise her role as Reno Sweeney in Anything Goes at the Barbican Theatre this summer, which begins performances this July – with tickets on sale now!

The Tony and Drama Desk Award-winning actress joins previously announced Olivier and BAFTA Award-winner and West End legend Robert Lindsay as Moonface Martin, as well as Felicity Kendal (The Good Life), as Evangeline Harcourt and Gary Wilmot (The Prince of Egypt) as Elisha Witney.

Anything Goes arrives as a major new production, featuring a company of over 50 performers, alongside a full-scale orchestra. With music and lyrics by Cole Porter and book by P.G. Wodehouse and Guy Bolton, plus Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse and a new book by Timothy Crouse and John Weidman, the musical is directed and choreographed by Tony Award-winner Kathleen Marshall.

Expect a crew of singing sailors, a comical disguise and some good old-fashioned blackmail in this hilarious musical romp across the Atlantic that features a collection of some of theatre’s most memorable songs, including “I Get A Kick Out of You”, “Anything Goes”, “You’re the Top” and “Blow, Gabriel, Blow”. Prepare to be utterly blown away!
