The classic musical comedy is lead by Allison Spratt Pearce as evangelist and nightclub performer Reno Sweeney
A mobster pretends to be a priest. A stockbroker pretends to be a mobster. An evangelist pretends to be a nightclub singer. Hold on, she is an evangelist — and a nightclub singer. Along with mistaken identities and manic stage entrances and exits, there’s no lack of wackiness in “Anything Goes,” a musical conceived nearly a century ago when people more commonly crossed the Atlantic on ocean liners.
Anthony Michael Vacio and Christianne Holly Santiago as Billy and Hope in San Diego Musical Theatre’s “Anything Goes.” From the instant Spratt Pearce kicks things off with “I Get a Kick Out of You,” she has this show in her hands. Her first-act-closing “Anything Goes” with the full cast behind her and the second-act “Blow, Gabriel, Blow,” complete with angels, are super-charged and marvelously choreographed by Xavier J. Bush.
Vacio and Santiago’s lovers are sweet and sweet voiced. There’s much more fun from not only Spratt Pearce but from Zane Davis as hapless Lord Evelyn Oakleigh, Hope Harcourt’s fiancé. The moment when Lord Evelyn taps into his undiscovered, unbridled passion for Reno Sweeney in “The Gypsy in Me” is right up there with Gomez and Morticia Addams tangoing at their sexiest.
