Do you want to banish those winter blues? If you do, I have the answer.

Just beg borrow or buy a ticket to this week's show at the Theatre Royal, where you will have a stunning evening's entertainment.

Keep warm and forget all about your troubles for two and a half hours.

Anything Goes is Cole Porter at his finest. Among the fabulous musical numbers are You're The Top, I Get A Kick Out Of You, It's De-Lovely, Blow Gabriel Blow and All Through The Night all of them have become masterpieces of the American popular song.

Since it was first seen in 1934, this show has been constantly revised to wild acclaim. It fizzes along, epitomising the frothy, optimistic and energetic life of America in the Thirties.

The current production is yet another triumphant revival and one which gets your toes tapping from the very first bars of the overture.

Director Ian Talbot has taken the original book by PG Wodehouse and Guy Bolton, as well as all the subsequent revisions, and has drizzled it with magic dust.

He has also assembled a hugely talented ensemble cast to execute some excellent performances.

Bill Deamer's choreography is breathtaking, there's a solid set and the costumes are magnificent.

The show is set aboard the SS American, on a voyage to England with an assortment of showgirls, debutantes and gangsters. Forget the plot and just let this piece take you where it will. It's funny, sharp and utterly consuming.

In the cameo role is Angela Rippon and yes, she does do a high kick right at the end. There are also two revelations in the cast.

One is Ria Jones as Reno Sweeney, a tart with a heart, who sings and dances as though Ethel Merman has met Elaine Paige.

The other wonderful surprise is Michael Starke, formerly known as Scouse scally Sinbad in Brookside or hospital porter Ken Hopkirk in The Royal. His emergence as singing and dancing gangster Moonfaced Martin is a total triumph.
