ANYTHING GOES AS THEATRE COMPANY CELEBRATES RETURN TO THE STAGE WITH THEATR CLWYD SHOW

​Rehearsals are in full swing as a local theatre company gets ready to stage its first performance in two years.

Deeside-based Dee and Alyn Gilbert and Sullivan Society will stage the popular West End and Broadway musical "Anything Goes" at Theatr Clwyd near Mold from Wednesday 15^th June - Saturday 18^th June at 7.30pm with a matinee performance at 2.30pm on Saturday 18^th June.  The show marks the society's return to Theatr Clwyd for the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic. 

With music and lyrics by Cole Porter, the show will be Co-directed for Dee and Alyn by Ruth Roberts and Joni Rusling with musical direction by Steve Roberts.

Featuring a host of well-known songs including "You're The Top", "Its's De-lovely" and "I Get a Kick Out Of You", "Anything Goes" centres around the madcap antics aboard an ocean liner, the SS American, bound from New York to London. Billy Crocker is a stowaway in love with heiress Hope Harcourt, who is engaged to Lord Evelyn Oakleigh. Nightclub singer Reno Sweeney and Public Enemy Number 13, "Moonface" Martin, aid Billy in his quest to win Hope with hilarious results. The show has being undergoing something of revival, with a production which opened at the Barbican in London in 2021 starring Robert Lyndsey, Sutton Foster and Felicity Kendall. The production is currently touring the UK. The Dee and Alyn production features many performers who will be familiar to local theatre goers including Joel Merry and Annie-Howarth Jones who recently appeared on the Clwyd stage in CATS, Andrew Rawlinson-Heath, Josie McSollars, Michael Hetherington and Kayleigh Strong.

Speaking about returning to Theatr Clwyd for the first time in 2 years, Alison Williams, the Chair of the Society said "After a hiatus of 2 years, Dee and Alyn Gilbert and Sullivan Society is delighted to be returning to Theatr Clwyd from 15th to 18th June and setting sail on the SS American to stage the 2018 version of Cole Porters "Anything Goes".  This fabulous show has it all - toe tapping dance routines, hilarious script, beautiful songs, various public enemies and even a love triangle. We're sure you'll "Get a Kick" out of seeing this show as it is going to be "De-lovely".
