Tony Award winner Joel Grey will join previously announced star Sutton Foster in the Roundabout Theatre Company’s new Broadway production of the musical Anything Goes, which will play the Stephen Sondheim Theatre beginning on March 10, 2011 with an official opening scheduled for April 7.

Tony Award winner Kathleen Marshall will direct and choreograph the production. 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. In the musical, the S.S. American heads out to sea, and etiquette and convention head out the portholes as two unlikely pairs set off on the course to true love.

The creative team includes Rob Fisher (music supervision), Derek McLane (sets), Martin Pakledinaz (costumes), and Peter Kaczorowski (lighting). Additional design team and cast members will be announced at a later date.

Grey, who will play Moonface Martin, won a Tony for the original Broadway production of Cabaret, and an Academy Award for its film version. He was also Tony-nominated for his work in George M!, Goodtime Charley, and The Grand Tour. His additional Broadway credits include Wicked, Chicago, and Half a Sixpence.


Foster, who will play Reno Sweeney, won the Tony for Thoroughly Modern Millie and has appeared on Broadway in Shrek the Musical, Young Frankenstein, The Drowsy Chaperone, Little Women, and Annie. She recently starred Off-Broadway in Second Stage Theatre’s production of Trust.
