The champagne bubble of a plot takes place on a transatlantic ship, which is packed to its balconies with colorful characters, including Billy Crocker, a young Wall Street broker who stows away in hopes of wooing the heiress Hope Harcourt.
Broadway Rose's current production is adapted from the 1987 Broadway version and is directed and choreographed by Peggy Taphorn, who delivers everything an audience of a big old-fashioned show could wish for.
The story is an excuse to sail from one Cole Porter song to another, including 'I Get a Kick out of You,' 'You're the Top,' and 'Easy to Love.'
With the voices of a talented cast to sing the clever lyrics and a live orchestra, the production does the splendid songs justice, which is a good thing since they're so well-loved.
