About Nice Work If You Can Get It
Nice Work If You Can Get It is a bubbly, Prohibition-era musical comedy featuring the timeless music of George and Ira Gershwin. The story follows Jimmy Winter, a charming but carefree playboy set to marry his fourth fiancée. His plans take an unexpected turn when he crosses paths with Billie Bendix, a feisty, street-smart bootlegger.
When Billie and her gang stash illegal booze in Jimmy's Long Island mansion, chaos ensues as mistaken identities, romantic entanglements, and over-the-top hijinks unfold. With snappy dialogue, show-stopping Gershwin tunes like “Someone to Watch Over Me” and “Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off,” and plenty of laughs, the show is a fun, nostalgic tribute to classic musical theatre.
