NICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT
Music & Lyrics by George & Ira Gershwin
Book by Jo DiPietro

The Metropolitan Musical Theatre Company wraps up its 2021 season with a Tony Award-winning musical comedy featuring the Gershwin brothers’ most famous hits, including “Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off,” “Someone to Watch Over Me”, “Fascinating Rhythm”, “But Not For Me”, “I’ve Got a Crush On You”,
“‘S Wonderful” and more.
With a book by Tony Award-winner Joe DiPietro, this dazzling musical comedy is set in the roaring ’20s. It follows a charming and wealthy playboy, Jimmy Winters, who meets a streetwise female bootlegger, Billie Bendix, the day before his wedding. Billie finds out that Jimmy has a beach house that he never uses and convinces her sidekicks, Cookie and Duke, to store 400 cases of gin in the cellar. Hilarious chaos erupts when Jimmy shows up to the house with his new bride and her Prohibition-loving family in tow, forcing the trio to pose as the serving staff and keep the family away from the cellar.
Meanwhile a love story unfolds between Jimmy and Billie. The only thing standing in their way is that Jimmy is somewhat married—and Billie is a fugitive with gin in the cellar and the Feds at the door.
Hedy Weiss from the Chicago Sun-Times writes: “Nice Work If You Can Get It is pure, unadulterated bliss. It’s a gem of a musical jukebox.”
The production will be directed by Selena Britz and choreographed by Carmel Vistoli with musical direction by Jesse Budel.
