Rehearsals are now steaming ahead for Llangollen Operatic Society’s production of  Cole Porter's Anything Goes which will be performed April 16-20 in the Town Hall.

Set on board an ocean liner bound for England in the 1930s, this lively, witty musical tells the story of stowaway Billy Crocker who, aided by a glamorous evangelist turned nightclub singer and a New York gangster, sets out on a mission to get his girl before she marries an ageing English gentleman.

This show has everything from comedy to romance, poignant solos and rousing chorus numbers guaranteed to have your toes tapping.

Porter’s jazzy score is a triumph and recognisable songs include I Get a Kick Out of You, Blow Gabriel Blow and the title number Anything Goes.   

Tickets are priced £9 and £7.50 (concessions) and are on sale now from Llangollen Tourist Information Centre, Jades Hair & Beauty or for telephone bookings call Stella Bond on 01978 860441. 

The society is also offering local companies or individuals the opportunity to sponsor one of the five performances.

For just £100, sponsors will receive tickets for front row balcony seats for four people, a drink each from the bar and programmes.

They will also have the chance to display and distribute their marketing material during the evening.
