With music and lyrics by renowned American songwriter and Indiana native Cole Porter, Anything Goes premiered on Broadway in 1934 and quickly became one of the most popular musicals in the American repertory. For the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra's symphonic premiere of the show, Maestro Everly has created new orchestrations for all of Porter's memorable songs, including "I Get A Kick Out of You," "You're the Top," "It's De-Lovely" and "Anything Goes."
