Musical director Alex Underwood posted the cast list for this year’s musical, “Anything Goes,” after school on Sept. 13.  

Around 45 students auditioned, and the performance dates are scheduled for Nov. 14-17.  

Underwood said the musical will offer a new set of challenges this year.  

“It is such an old show that the style of acting is very different than modern contemporary realism, so that is going to be interesting,” Underwood said. “The other thing is the amount of tap dancing that has to happen for the show. We are putting every single cast member in tap shoes for at least one of the numbers. It is going to be really awesome once everybody gets it put together.”
