Romance is in the air on the ocean liner SS American, but it's far from smooth sailing for the passengers. Billy Crocker (senior Lukas Kruegle) is on board to say goodbye to his boss, Wall Street tycoon Elisha J. Whitney (freshman Patrick Shell) when he spots Hope Harcourt (senior Alexandra Brennan) on deck. She is the "one that got away" and when Billy learns she is sailing to Europe with her mother, Mrs. Harcourt (junior Laura Santo), to marry Sir Evelyn Oakleigh (sophomore Ben Daniel) he decides to stow away and steal her back.

Billy's unlikely accomplices are gangster Moonface Martin (senior Calvin Rezen) and his moll, Bonnie (senior Tyler Halligan) who are on the run from the law, and his old friend, Reno Sweeney (junior Margaret Capone) a nightclub singer who is traveling with her bevy of backup singers and dancers, the Angels, played by seniors Nicole Bellmay, Alexis Parsells, Michelle Verkhoglaz and Alyssa Zoll; junior Anastasia Maltsev and freshman Jessica Snyder.

The cast falls in and out of love, dons disguises, and sings and dances their way across the Atlantic to a memorable score that includes favorite songs such as, "It's De-Lovely," "You're the Top," "Friendship," and, "Anything Goes."
