A musical from the 1930s1934 with songs by Cole Porter., '''''Anything Goes''''' takes place aboard a boat, following a number of unusual characters, including a evangelist-turned-nightclub singer (Reno Sweeney, originally played by Ethel Merman) and a gangster disguised as a pastor (originally played by Victor Moore). Famous songs from the show include the title song, as well as "You're the Top" and "I Get a Kick Out of You". "Friendship" is also well known, but it's not originally from this show.
 
It received major revivals on Broadway twice, first in the 1960s in a version that interpolated songs from a number of Porter's other shows, and again in the 1980s in a version that stayed closer to the original musical in terms of songs, although not necessarily in terms of script. A ''third'' Broadway revival came out in 2011, based on the 1980s revival. It won the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical.
