A musical comedy with music and lyrics by Cole Porter featuring a colourful cast of characters, dazzling dance numbers, and classic tunes. Follow nightclub singer turned evangelist Reno Sweeney (Marsala Lukianchuk) as she helps her friend, Billy Crocker (Tom Sargeant), in his quest to win the heart of Hope Harcourt (Macayla Vaughn), who is set to marry Sir Evelyn Oakleigh (Harry Clark). Alongside conman Moonface Martin (Mark Hiscox), this unlikely team cooks up schemes, misunderstandings, and comedy gold to help Billy win his true love. Directed by Dustin Bowers with choreography by Melissa Earle and music direction by Justin Hiscox, this 2022 version (based on the 1987 Lincoln Centre production) features a revised script and is updated in light of contemporary sensibilities. Some scenes may be mildly suggestive in nature or in language. Performances at 7:30 p.m. on November 8 and 9 and November 14 and 15 with 2 p.m. matinee performances on November 9 and 10 and November 16.
