Anything Goes Anything Goesf' a musical set in the 1930's aboard a cruise ship that involves lovers, gangsters, and evangelists, was the perfect choice for the spring musical because it provided an area never explored by the drama department. Carol Ann Davis, the director of the show, said the play was chosen because it was a period piece that had big production numbers with a lot of tap dancing. Also, the more mature generation would be attracted to it for the oldie goldie tunes. Tom Nelson, who played Billy Crocker in the show, said, This musical was special because ofthe quality of people who worked on it. They made it a great show. Spring musical showcases big production numbers When asked if all the hard work was worth it Nelson said, Anything that is worked on and sweated over certainly is. jeff Seabaugh, who portrayed Mr. Whitney, added, Although it takes many weeks of long rehearsals, the end result is worth the practice. To see a show open with the professional qualities of a Northeast production makes an actor feel special. Anything Goes had a cast of close to sixty performers. Todd Godwin, who played the gangster Moonface Martin, said, The bigger the cast, the better. With a large cast it seems like there is always someone to cheer you up when you're down. - By Libbi Dixon SEVENTH HEAVEN - Reno Sweeny, played by Wendy Ward, fcenter with suitcasej, is surrounded by her tap-dancing angels Lou Ann Grimmett, Liz Martin, Gina Forten- berry, Denise Maness, Beth Brady, Pam White, and Marla Hardwick.
