LA Times says: 'Anything Goes' is 'the top' at the Ahmanson Theatre
“Rachel York is a true star”
“Could tap-dancing possibly be as fun as Rachel York makes it look? She and the cast of the Roundabout Theatre Company’s Tony-winning Broadway revival of ‘Anything Goes’ perform the show’s exuberant title number with such saucy, effortless flair and megawatt smiles that I found myself thinking, ‘I’m signing up for lessons’ — I, who get winded riding an escalator in heels. Kathleen Marshall has dazzlingly reinvigorated a classic escapist treat.” More online at LATimes.com
“Musical-comedy JOY.”

“Rachel York embodies the role with a wink and a purr. Her singing voice combines paint-peeling power with a luxe smoothness, like a ribbon of dark chocolate spiked with cayenne pepper.”

“Rachel York and the all-singing/all-dancing company of Anything Goes took me up to the heavenly gates with their spectacular performance.”

- The New Yorker
