A host of Irish stars stepped out for the opening of Anything Goes at the Bord Gais Energy Theatre in Dublin.
The performing arts venue was buzzing for the glitzy opening of the musical, which will run until May 28th.
Well-known faces spotted on the red carpet included Ryan Andrews and his fiancée Michaela O’Neill, Dancing with the Stars pros Laura Nolan and Ervinus Merfeldas, and presenter James Patrice with his mother Fron.
The multi award-winning musical has sailed into Dublin with a stellar cast, which includes Bonnie Langford (EastEnders/9 to 5) as Evangeline Harcourt, Simon Callow (Four Weddings & a Funeral/Amadeus) as Elisha Whitney, Kerry Ellis(Wicked/We Will Rock You) as Reno Sweeney and Denis Lawson (Bleak House/New Tricks) as Moonface Martin.
The musical’s synopsis reads: “It’s Bon Voyage on the S.S American but it’s not all smooth sailing as they head out to sea; etiquette is cast off through the portholes as two unlikely pairs set off on the course to find true love.”
“Their journey proves that sometimes destiny needs a little help from a crew of singing and dancing sailors, a comical disguise, a farcical blackmail, delightful double-entendres, and some timeless good fun!”
Featuring a joyful, gold-plated score of theatre’s most memorable standards, including ‘I Get A Kick Out of You’, ‘You’re the Top’, ‘It’s De- Lovely!’ and ‘Anything Goes’, it’s everything you want a big Broadway musical to be and more!
