Kilworth House Theatre has announced its summer 2026 production, Cole Porter’s Anything Goes.

Set aboard the SS American, the show follows nightclub singer Reno Sweeney and a cast of passengers entangled in romance, mistaken identities and comic misunderstandings on a transatlantic voyage. The production features Porter’s classic songs including “I Get a Kick Out of You”, “You’re the Top”, “Friendship” and “Anything Goes”, with a book by Guy Bolton and P G Wodehouse, revised by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse.

The musical will run for 48 performances between 23 June and 2 August 2026 at the open-air theatre. Lee Proud returns as director and choreographer, joined by the same creative team behind 42nd Street, Singin’ in the Rain and Hairspray.

Tickets go on sale at 10am on Tuesday 4 November 2025 via the Kilworth House Theatre website or box office. Casting and creatives are to be revealed.

Anything Goes is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Tams-Witmark LLC.
