Award winning BASICS JUNIOR THEATRE SCHOOL presents Cole Porter's Anything Goes: new production, same old charm

Musical fans have a tough decision to make when deciding what shows to go and see. Do you watch a new show that could be a hit tomorrow, or see an old favourite in a new setting? For the latter, you can’t get much better than Cole Porter’s masterpiece from the golden age of Broadway, Anything Goes. For those of us who looked over the pond with envious eyes at the recent Broadway revival of said masterpiece, a fantastic staging by BASICS JUNIOR THEATRE SCHOOL is taking place at The Pendle Hippodrome in Colne in December of this year.

Fans of the show will be delighted when they walk into the beautiful Hippodrome Theatre and are greeted by the sight of the show’s famous ocean-liner set and a splendid 20 plus piece orchestra.

The show is your typical romantic farce from the old school of musical comedy, which happens to feature sailors, stockbrokers and gangsters aboard an ocean liner to England. Don’s miss out on Cole Porter’s endlessly witty, magnificently toe-tapping score.

Our extremely talented cast is led by the superb Jessica Balderstone, dazzling our audiences as Reno Sweeney, the nightclub-singer-cum-evangelist who gets all of Porter’s best songs. She will serenade the audience with ‘I Get A Kick Out of You’ one moment, playing up ‘Blow, Gabriel Blow’ the next. What’s more, Jess will lead the cast in some of the best ensemble tap numbers you will have seen from Basics in years.

This years production’s biggest strength is how genuinely funny it is.

If you don’t get a kick out of champagne, try this fantastic production of Anything Goes – it’s the top.
