Todd Lattimore Returns to Merry-Go-Round Playhouse

Just off from his Broadway engagement in La Cage Aux Folles, Auburn native Todd Lattimore joins an all-star cast, including Bruce Warren and Julie Cardia of last season's The Drowsy Chaperone and Kimberly Burns of Meet Me in St. Louis, in the Merry-Go-Round Playhouse production of Anything Goes. Bringing together this fantastic cast is Producing Artistic Director Ed Sayles, Choreographer Lori Leshner, and Musical Director Corinne Aquilina.

Lattimore appeared on Broadway in the revival of 42nd Street from 2001-2005 and performed at Merry-Go-Round Playhouse in 2009 as Bobbie in A Chorus Line. Lattimore credits MGR as the place that gave him his start in musical theatre.

"Merry-Go-Round is the first place that I ever did theatre. I was eight years old in The King and I and I still remember my one line - How is possible hard water? After leaving Auburn and going to New York to be on Broadway, coming back is like coming full circle. Now I get to play Billy Crocker and have lots of lines. It's a great feeling!"

Anything Goes kicks off the 2011 Merry-Go-Round season. One of the funniest musicals ever written, it is a classic in every sense of the word. A delightful trip across the Atlantic with a cast of crazy characters, five love stories and, oh yes, lots and lots of tap dancing! Featuring songs by Cole Porter including, "Blow, Gabriel, Blow," "I Get a Kick Out of You," "It's DeLovely," and "You're the Top" - don't miss this show running through June 22nd.
