Last year, Anything Goes smashed multiple Box Office records at the Barbican Theatre, London, including the single highest grossing performance week for a musical in the Barbican’s 39-year history and the highest sales across a weekend for a musical, as audiences flooded through the doors for the 15-week sold out season – this week it’s in Edinburgh, at the Festival Theatre until Sunday.

The critically acclaimed show features a star cast including Kerry Ellis as Reno Sweeney and New Tricks’ Denis Lawson as Moonface Martin, Simon Callow – Saturday and Sunday performances only in Edinburgh – as Elisha Whitney and EastEnders’ Bonnie Langford as Evangeline Harcourt.
