Anything Goes (2021)
8/10
Delightful,sollid rendition of a classic muisical.
12 January 2022
Sure, some might say it is dated, but then you denying yourself the chance to immerse in a fun fantasy world that touches on classic movies, plays and music. The cast is fantastic. Erma's towering showpieces is a show stopper. Lindsay as Moonface is also invigoratingly hilarious with every line and nuisance. And, the chemistry with those too is extraordinary. Sutton Foster is no Ethel Merman nor Patti Lupone, but who cares, she put her own spin on it, and is a more naturalistic performer. Even when she and Lindsay brake character. One might say her dancing might seem a bit ungraceful, but in some way, the choreography should be a tad looser in the non-tap dances. Classic Staging, great side characters performances. And, the two love interests, just don't get in the way of the real fun and just move the plot along. As ever, this is a video of stage performance and has some limits there, but it is hardly noticeable and still feel open enough to just get along with the zingers. Bravo.
