Yeah, our Evelyn was quite naive and the "steryotypical" englishman..thats what makes this scene so hilarious. You would never expect it of his character. Pretty much what the whole show is--nothing is predictable! haha!
I find the discussion of how Evelyn "should" be interesting. Clearly in this production the director -- I was the choreographer --chose to cast Evelyn exactly counter to the accepted type -- so in this production rather than smooth and suave, he's naive, bumbling and loveable. I found the choice interesting and it certainly made his dance with Reno fun and even refreshing for its humor and charm.
@bobethomas When the group I'm in did this production Evelyn was cast in a similar manner. He was sophisticated, stereotypically English, but quite naive.
@bobethomas Im actually currently in rehearsal for Anything Goes playing Evelyn and from the moment I saw the script, the goofier lovable Evelyn made a whole lot more sense than the smooth suave one. To me, Evelyn is completely delusional about what happens around him, and that makes him charming.
i read the convo going on below and I thought sir Evelyn was supposed to be hunkish. This is the first Anything Goes I've seen where Evelyn isn't hunkish
reno is very good, but the evelyn in this was totally miscast...ev is supposed to be a sexy british heartthrob...and this guy is not any of the above 3.
so not true, the whole irony is that sir evelyn is super un-hunkish guy while reno is...well...reno :P thats what makes it funny that she's after him!
really? hm, weird, i guess our directors just decided to interpret it differently...whatevs :) i like it both ways though, they're kinda just atwo different kinds of funny.
Can someone give me a strong review of this musical?? Our high school is doing this and we were told the movie is NOTHING like the musical so I have nowhere to turn but youtube. The wikipedia page was confusing
I LOVE IT! I wish they'd have kept this song in the revived version. That Reno is fabulous, and the whole song was hilarious. And that dress is HOTT!! I want it!! Lol. ((I played Reno, but my dress wasn't red, it was gold. ^.^))
I love this :)

thats completely inaccurate. Sir Evelyn Oakley is supposed to be an attractive, yet stuffy and hapless British nobleman.
