Lakeshore Players Theatre is excited to announce auditions for ANYTHING GOES (2022 REVISION). A hilarious shipboard romp wrapped up in one of Cole Porter’s most magical scores. It’s delightful, delicious, and de-lovely! The 2022 Revision, based on the 1987 Lincoln Center production at the Vivian Beaumont Theater, features a revised script, updated in light of contemporary sensibilities. In this version, the race of the characters is not pivotal to the plot. This version also has twice as much dance music as the 1962 version and includes the hits “I Get a Kick Out of You,” “You’re the Top,” “Friendship,” “It’s De-Lovely” and the title song, along with “Easy to Love,” “Goodbye, Little Dream, Goodbye” and “Buddie, Beware.”
