'Anything Goes' By Tower Players Sailing Into Rumson-Fair Haven

RUMSON-FAIR HAVEN, NJ — The Tower Players of Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School are readying its spring musical, Cole Porter’s "Anything Goes."

The show will run from March 15 to 17 and March 23 to 24. For tickets, visit https://towerplayers.booktix.net/.

This classic of the golden age of musicals follows a group of passengers aboard the S.S. American ocean liner. Lounge singer and evangelist Reno Sweeney (Hailey Blum) is traveling from New York to London with her four backup dancers, the Angels. But things take an unexpected turn as she finds herself on board with her long-time crush, Billy Crocker (Christian Stone).

Now it gets complicated: Billy stows away on the ship to rekindle his past rendezvous with Hope Harcourt (Gemma Formisano) who is engaged to the quirky Lord Evelyn Oakley (Connor Olson). A heartbroken Billy will do anything to regain Hope’s love, and quickly befriends fellow stowaway Public Enemy Number 13, Moonface Martin (Kole Cannon), and his sidekick, Erma (Lainie Lombardo), who aid Billy on his quest.
