Fremont Street founder and local attorney and musician, Sandy Sandquist, has assembled a veteran production team for Anything Goes, including director, Madeline Franklin; musical director, Ken McMullen; and Chicago actress, dancer and singer Dina DiCostanzo, who returns to her hometown to choreograph this tap dancing show that features the magical score of the incomparable Cole Porter.

A production involving more than sixty people, cast members include the local talent of Drew Leigh Williams of Chicago in the starring role of Reno Sweeney and Amy Orman of Chicago as the debutante Hope Harcourt. Drew and Amy come to Palatine along with choreographer DiCostanzo having just worked together in Drury Lane’s production of Hairspray in Oakbrook.
