"Anything Goes is the kind of classic musical comedy that can brighten anyone's day, and Mesa Community College's production does just that, with vibrant direction, exceptional choreography, and a talented cast that play up the show's zany comedy and who sound lovely singing the infectious score by Cole Porter. This production beautifully captures the essence of the musical's classic, timeless charm....Catherine McCreary is excellent as Reno Sweeney, delivering refined singing, winning comedic timing, and enthusiastic dancing; her tap solos are wonderful. ...Director Debby Rosenthal... gets bright, comical performances from everyone in the cast and the combination of Rosenthal's sure-footed direction and Stanis' exceptional choreography create many effective moments, including two spectacular numbers that start with just McCreary but then pull in the entire cast and build into showstoppers: "Anything Goes" and "Blow, Gabriel Blow."  - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
