Boys-meet-girls and the complications get hysterically funny as a boat load of crazy

characters, including a bungling gangster, an English gentleman and a bevy of dazzling

American showgirls cross the Atlantic in an ocean liner that makes The Love Boat look like a leaky canoe in Cole Porter’s Anything Goes.

Anything Goes originally opened on Broadway in 1934 with Ethel Merman playing Reno Sweeney. Since then there have been six Broadway revivals, four international revivals, four world tours and two movies. In 1999, a production of the 1962 revival version was performed on the Showboat Majestic and featured the talents of many of today’s cast/crew, including Michelle Wells, Jeni Bayer Schwiers and even yours truly (as Sir Evelyn)! It was a Tall Stacks sensation. So sit back and enjoy the songs of yesteryear as we proudly bring you the 2016 revival of the 1999 revival of the 1962 revival of Anything Goes. You’re the tops! —Bob Brunner, Director

DIRECTOR’S NOTES

“There’s a reason this musical is called Anything Goes. It’s a farrago of zinger-stocked dialogue, vaudeville-style antics

and musical numbers.” —The New York Times

DIRECTOR’S NOTES

“At a time when nearly every Broadway musical, good and bad, aims for the big kill with gargantuan pyrotechnics, here is a modestly scaled

entertainment that woos us with such basic commodities as warm feelings, an exuberant cast and a lovely score.” —The New York Times

Cincinnati Landmark Productions (CLP) began as Cincinnati Young People’s Theatre (CYPT), a theatre for teenagers, in 1982. In 1990, CYPT also became the producer for the summer

stock Showboat Majestic utilizing paid per-formers of all ages.

In May 2002, CYPT purchased the Covedale Cinema at 4990 Glenway Ave., converting it into a live performance venue. In fall 2002, the Covedale began a subscription series featuring paid performers of all ages. Since then, the Covedale has completed its original five-phase renovation plan, attracting nearly 44,000 pa-trons annually.

In 2006, Cincinnati Young People’s Theatre was reorganized as Cincinnati Landmark Productions, composed of the Showboat Majestic, the Covedale Center for the Performing Arts and Cincinnati Young People’s Theatre.

In 2013, CLP ceased operating the city-owned Showboat Majestic.

In September 2014, CLP broke ground on its new venue, the Warsaw Federal Incline Theater in East Price Hill. The new 229-seat venue opened on June 3, 2015, to 45 straight sell-out performances.

Is there anything more exciting, frightening and utterly transformational than impending

parenthood?Baby musically examines how parents-to-

be weather the stresses and triumphs, as well as the desperate lows and the comic highs that accompany the anticipation and arrival of their bundle of joy.

The show features beautiful songs like “I

Want It All,” “Two People in Love” and “The Story Goes On.”

Production Team:

Director/Choreographer: Karie-Lee Sutherland

Music Director: Katie PersonkeProduction Stage Manager: Emily Birnstein

Which of life’s milestones could be more frightening, surprising or marvelous than the arrival of a baby? Told against an inventive and gentle score by Maltby & Shire, Baby is not about parenting, but about how three couples—at varying stages in life—discover how their relationships change in anticipation of this blessed event. The road to parenthood may be beautiful or bittersweet, but the next step of life is only a heartbeat away! —Karie-Lee Sutherland, Director

BOOK BY FRED EBB AND BOB FOSSE • MUSIC BY JOHN KANDER • LYRICS BY FRED EBB • SCRIPT ADAPTATION BY DAVID THOMPSON

I t’s the roaring ’20s in Chicago. Chorine Roxie Hart murders a faithless lover and

convinces her hapless husband Amos to take the rap...until he finds out he’s been duped and turns on Roxie.

Convicted and sent to death row, Roxie and another “Merry Murderess,” Velma Kelly, vie for the spotlight and the headlines, ultimate-ly joining forces in search of the American Dream: fame, fortune and acquittal.

This sharp-edged, dizzyingly funny satire

features a glittering score, including “Razzle Dazzle,” “Cell Block Tango” and the iconic “All That Jazz.” Chicago is the winner of six Tony® Awards.

“The show seems to have discovered the fountain of youth. As entertaining as ever. Brash, buoyant and utterly irresistible!”

—Associated Press

2016-2017 MARQUEE SEASON AT COVEDALE CENTER

Cincinnati Landmark Productions also owns and produces the Covedale Center for the Performing Arts on Glenway Avenue. Don’t miss these great shows at that landmark venue.

DIRECTOR’S NOTES

“You are about to see a story of murder, greed, corruption, violence, exploitation, adultery and treachery—all those things we all hold near and dear to our hearts.” It’s hard to find a better way to sum up the musical Chicago than its own opening line. The show’s setting and even its own production history are a testament to how society changes over time, while its content shows how much things stay the same. —Matthew Wilson, Director

Godspell September 8–October 2, 2016 Godspell is one of the most successful musicals in history. It presents a whimsical and ultimately inspiring view of Jesus, as His followers and disciples re-enact parables and scenes from Jesus’ life with great energy. The rock musical was an immediate hit when it opened in the spring of 1971 at an off-Broad-way theatre. Several songs from the show, including “Day by Day,” became chart hits.

The Foreigner October 20–November 13, 2016 A pathologically shy young man named Charlie is overcome with fear at the thought of making conversation with strangers. So his Army buddy tells the crazy characters at a fishing lodge that Charlie is from an exotic foreign country and speaks no English. Once alone the fun really begins, as Charlie over-hears more than he should! The nonstop hilar-ity of the play sets up the wildly funny climax.

The Nights Before Christmas December 1–23, 2016 A new original musical—written by Executive Artistic Director Tim Perrino—just in time for Christmas! Filled with romance, heartbreak and mystery, The Nights Before Christmas reveals the dramatic life of Clement C. Moore and the writing of the poem that defined the joy of Christmas for the world, “A Visit from St. Nicholas.” It’s a love story that spans a lifetime, a literary mystery, a celebration of Christmases long gone by—all wrapped up in beautiful songs.

Doubt January 19–February 12, 2017 In this brilliant and powerful drama, Sister Aloysius, a Bronx school principal, takes matters into her own hands when she suspects the young Father Flynn of improper relations with one of the male students. A gripping story of suspicion that is less about scandal than about fascinatingly nuanced questions of moral certainty. Winner of the 2005 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award.

Leading Ladies March 9–April 2, 2017 In this 2006 comedy, two English Shakespearean actors, Jack and Leo, find themselves so down on their luck that they resolve to pass themselves off as a dying lady’s beloved nephews and get her inher-itance. The trouble is, when they get to York, they find out that the relatives aren’t neph-ews, but nieces! Romantic entanglements and hilarity abound!

My Fair Lady

April 27–May 21, 2017Based upon George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion, the story of Eliza Doolittle, a cockney flower girl who takes speech lessons from Professor Henry Higgins, showcases some of Broadway’s greatest songs, like “I Could Have Danced All Night,” “On the Street Where You Live,” “I’m Get-ting Married in the Morning,” “The Rain In Spain”—just to name a few!
