The Roundabout Theatre Company’s Tony Award-winning revival of Cole Porter’s Anything Goes will begin its national tour at Cleveland’s PlayhouseSquare in October 2012, and will then play more than 25 other cities during the 2012/2013 season including the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles. Casting will be announced shortly.


Directed and choreographed by Tony Award winner Kathleen Marshall, the show features a score by Cole Porter, original book by P.G. Wodehouse & Guy Bolton and Howard Lindsay & Russel Crouse, and a new book by Timothy Crouse and John Weidman.


The creative team includes Bill Elliott (additional orchestrations), Rob Fisher (musical director) and David Chase (dance arranger). The design team includes Derek McLane (sets), Martin Pakledinaz (costumes), Peter Kaczorowski (lights), and Brian Ronan (sound).


As previously reported, the Broadway production of Anything Goes will continue its run at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre through April 29 starring Tony Award winners Sutton Foster as Reno Sweeney and Joel Grey as Moonface Martin. The show’s original cast recording is among this year’s Grammy Award nominees for Best Musical Theatre Album.
