'Anything Goes' on stage in North Canton

North Canton Playhouse will present "Anything Goes" beginning Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

"Anything Goes" tells a story aboard the ocean liner S. S. American, where nightclub singer Reno Sweeney is on board.

Her pal Billy Crocker has stowed away to be near his love. Joining them on board are Public Enemy #13, Moonface Martin, and his sidekick, Erma. With the help of some elaborate disguises and tap-dancing sailors, Reno and Martin join forces to help Billy win Hope’s heart, North Canton Playhouse said.

Originally written in 1934 with music and lyrics by American composer and songwriter Cole Porter, the musical comedy has been updated several times throughout the last century, according to https://broadwaymusicalhome.com/.
