Get on board for some delightful and de-lovely entertainment as Beef & Boards
Dinner Theatre presents the nautical musical "Anything Goes". Recently revived on Broadway, this lighthearted Cole Porter classic celebrates its 80th anniversary this year, and tap dances through May 11
at Beef & Boards.

An amusing story wrapped around one of the magical scores of native Hoosier Cole Porter, "Anything Goes" is the age-old tale of boy-meets-girl, but sent out to sea aboard the ocean liner S.S. American. Young travelers fall in love, but the girl is engaged to marry in just days! Throw in some disguised characters, blackmail and tap-dancing sailors, and it adds up to an upbeat production that's the top!

"Anything Goes" features the famous songs "Friendship," "It's De-Lovely," "I Get A Kick Out Of You," "You're the Top," and the title song, "Anything Goes."

Starring as Billy Crocker, a young broker in love, is Timothy Ford, who last enchanted Beef & Boards audiences as Don Lockwood in "Singin' In The Rain". Whitney Meyer, who played Cosette in "Les Misérables" last season, returns to the Beef & Boards stage as Hope Harcourt, the debutante engaged to marry Lord Evelyn Oakleigh, played by audience favorite Jeff Stockberger. Performing as Reno Sweeney, the nightclub singer who helps Billy, is Deb Wims, who brought audiences to their feet with her portrayal of Roxie Hart in Beef & Boards' production of "Chicago". Funnyman Jack Milo returns as Moonface
Martin, a gangster and Public Enemy #13.

"Anything Goes" is on stage for 40 performances in the intimate space of Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre.

Tickets range from $38.50 to $63.50 and include Chef Odell Ward's dinner buffet, prepared in-house for each performance, and select beverages. Parking is always free.
For reservations, call the Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre Box Office at 317.872.9664 anytime between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays. Discounts are available to groups of 20 or more; contact the Group Sales Department for more details.
