The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

WALLA WALLA—Gesa Power House Theatre presents a Live Cinema screening of Anything Goes on Sunday, March 27 at 1:00 p.m.

Filmed live at the Barbican in London, and screening for the first time to select international cinemas, this new production of the classic musical comedy features an all-star cast led by renowned Broadway royalty Sutton Foster reprising her Tony Award-winning performance as Reno Sweeney, alongside three-time Olivier Award and Tony Award winner Robert Lindsay (My Family), Evening Standard Theatre Award winner Felicity Kendal (The Good Life) and beloved West End Legend Gary Wilmot (Chicago).

Anything Goes will take audiences back to the Golden Age of high society on the seas. 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, a humorous disguise, and some good old-fashioned blackmail. This hilarious musical romp across the Atlantic, directed by the multi-award-winning Broadway director and choreographer Kathleen Marshall, features Cole Porter’s joyful score, including I Get a Kick Out of You, You’re the Top, and the show-stopping Anything Goes.

Filmed during a live event, the Live Cinema Series broadcasts offer audiences an equivalent to the best seat in the house, with incredibly detailed close-ups of the performers. The Live Cinema Series is supported by Shakespeare Walla Walla.

This screening has an approximate runtime of 2 hours 45 minutes. Beer, wine, popcorn, and snacks will be available for purchase and may be taken into the theater.

Reserved seating tickets ($15 adults, $10 students) are available online at http://www.phtww.org or by calling the box office at 509-529-6500.

Additional precautions, such as required mask use, will be observed based on the latest guidance from state and county health departments.
