Marysol taps with Tony-nominated "Anything Goes"

With classic songs, toe tapping dance numbers and spectacular costumes, "Anything Goes" is good old fashioned musical comedy at its best.

With nine Tony nominations, including Best Revival of a Musical, the Roundabout Theater Company's "Anything Goes" is the latest acclaimed production of Cole Porter's audience favorite.

"Hopefully we transport them, give them a little romance, a little humor, a little tap dancing and then send them on their way," says Kathleen Marshall, the show's brilliant Tony nominated director/choreographer.

The musical originally opened on November 21, 1934 with Ethel Merman in the starring role. Merman also appeared in a 1936 film version with Bing Crosby and 1956 TV version with Frank Sinatra.

In 1987, two-time Tony winner Patti Lupone led another highly praised Broadway production.

Now Tony winner Sutton Foster follows those legends in playing Evangelist-turned-nightclub sensation Reno Sweeny. It was a role she almost didn't take.

"I hemmed and hawed actually. They originally offered it to me and I said 'Yes!' and then I said 'Wait,' and I kind of panicked," Foster admits. "Basically the panic factor was based on the pedigree; I was intimidated. And that ultimately became the reason why I decided to do it because it scared me so much."

Lending his support is Joel Grey, himself a Tony winner.

The show is a classic, yet it remains so relevant. What is the secret to that?

"I think that somewhere in their brain, there is some familiarity there that they are comfortable with knowing that it's Cole Porter," Grey explains.

"And it's a score that almost everyone is familiar with the songs, they're classic songs," Foster adds.

Songs that have been used in everything from "I Love Lucy" to "Blazing Saddles" to the animated series "Family Guy."

"You feel responsible to make these songs that are so familiar fresh and new," Grey says.

"I feel honored," Foster says. "I still can't believe. I sing 'Blow Gabriel Blow' and I can't believe I'm singing it...it's awesome."

Sitting down with these incredible performers to discuss such a timeless show inspired Castro to explore her musical talent.

"Any words of wisdom? I really have two left feet," Castro asked.

"Its all about the face. You can fool anyone with a smile and some hands," Foster admitted.

Marshall gave Castro a crash course and got her ready to take on the show's very talented and patient dancers - and finally she was ready to make her tap debut. What do you think? Is she ready for Broadway?
