REVIEWS

"ANYTHING GOES"- Curtain Call Performing Arts

"High jinks and great choreography. Critically acclaimed Marissa Joy Ganz was a definite "get" for CCPA. She skillfully scaled the numbers to the small stage, managing to make the dances seem expansive. Of special delight was the show-stopping "Blow, Gabriel Blow." Broadwayworld- Linda Hodges

The show-stopping moment of the night comes at the end of Act I with a tremendous full-cast tap number set to "Anything Goes." Tri-City Voice- Julie Grabowski
