Anything Goes Sheet Music - Vocal Selections
Anything Goes 1987 Broadway Revival Cast Recording Anything Goes - the New Broadway Cast Recording - Download The Album Now! |
Anything Goes was originally about a shipwreck, but when there was a real-life shipwreck (with many lives lost) soon before the opening, tact demanded that it be rewritten. In fact, there are several rewrites of this show which makes things a little confusing. The book that is usually licensed is the 1962 version, written by Guy Bolton. Not all songs in our song list are found in all versions of this production.
