LAST CHANCE TO GET THIS WORK
Get ready for this 1920s-era feel-good musical, complete with extravagant dance numbers, glittering costumes and an unlikely love story between a wealthy playboy and a rough and tumble lady bootlegger. This lighthearted crowd pleaser is set against the backdrop of classic Gershwin hits like “Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off,” “Someone to Watch Over Me” and “Fascinating Rhythm.”
Featuring a cast of larger-than-life ensemble characters, direction and choreography by Kathleen Marshall (Anything Goes) and a snappy book by Joe DiPietro (Memphis), Nice Work If You Can Get It harkens back to the golden age of American musical comedy. This sparkling, madcap tale combines laughter, romance and high-stepping Broadway magic for an evening bursting with girls, glamour and the glorious songs of Gershwin.
It’s the Roaring Twenties and a cast of outrageous characters gather in New York to celebrate the wedding of wealthy playboy Jimmy Winter. But things don’t go as planned when the playboy meets Billie Bendix, a bubbly and feisty bootlegger who melts his heart. The champagne flows and the gin fizzes in the hilarious romp, but being the last stop of the National Tour, this engagement at Segerstrom from March 17-22, 2015 will be the last time to tap your toes with this splashy show.
