ALL ABOARD for this saucy and splendid new production of Cole Porter's musical romp across the Atlantic. When the S.S. American heads out to sea, etiquette and convention head out the portholes as two unlikely pairs set off on the course to true love... proving that sometimes destiny needs a little help from a crew of singing sailors, an exotic disguise and some good old-fashioned blackmail. Peppering this hilariously bumpy ride are some of musical theater's most memorable standards, including "You're the Top," "Blow, Gabriel, Blow," "It's De-Lovely," "I Get A Kick Out of You," and "Anything Goes."
Ghostlight Records recently released the new Broadway cast recording of Roundabout Theatre Company's 2011 Tony® Award winning production. It is available in stores and digitally. The digital release of the album jumped to #1 on iTUNES Soundtrack Chart, and to #17 on iTUNES Overall Album Chart.
