We set sail aboard the S.S. America in the Cole Porter classic Anything Goes.

This show combines madcap antics, a romantic love story, and a hilarious cast of characters.

Set on the deck of the Trans-Atlantic ocean liner S. S. America, where nightclub singer/evangelist Reno Sweeney (Janina Gonzalez) is en route from New York to England. Her pal Billy Crocker (Robert Bria) has stowed away to be near his love, Hope Harcourt (Stephanie Sands), but the problem is Hope is engaged to the wealthy Lord Evelyn Oakleigh (Michael Wright).

Joining this love triangle on board the luxury liner are Public Enemy #13, Moonface Martin (Ted Schwartz) and his sidekick-in-crime Erma (Lauren Nicole Sherwood). With the help of some elaborate disguises, dancing sailors and good old-fashioned blackmail, Reno and Martin join forces to help Billy in his quest to win Hope's heart.

Anything Goes is a shining example of classic musical theater, complete with amazing tap numbers, campy jokes, unlikely happy endings and eminently hummable songs like "De-Lovely," "I Get a Kick Out Of You" and "Anything Goes".

Now in its 30th season, Musicals at Richter is Connecticut's longest-running outdoor theater.

Performances are at the Richter Arts Center, 100 Aunt Hack Road, in Danbury.

Performances are given outdoors under the stars and audience members can picnic on lawn chairs and blankets before and while they watch the show.

A fun, family-friendly way to spend a beautiful summer evening!
