Broadway's new musical comedy, Nice Work If You Can Get It will visit Hershey Theatre Friday, January 16 at 8:00 p.m. and Saturday, January 17 at 2:00 and 8:00 p.m.

The Tony-winning musical Nice Work If You Can Get It, inspired by the music of the Gershwins, comes to the Mayo Performing Arts Center on Thursday, January 15, 2015 at 8 pm for one performance only. Tickets are $39-79.

The high-octane theatrical concert, "Burlesque to Broadway" starring Quinn Lemley will dazzle audiences at New York City's premiere venue The Cutting Room (44 E 32nd Street between Park and Madison) every Monday night in November. This lightning-in-a-bottle survey of American burlesque -- with Lemley leading a tight-knit coterie of showgirls through heart-racing choreography, in eye-popping costumes -- is supported by a razor-sharp nine-piece live band under the music direction of Daniel Lincoln. Performances are November (3rd, 10th, 17th and 24th) at 8pm with doors at 6:30pm.

'Dance is a metaphor for expression, for freedom. In Footloose we use dance to express ourselves when we have no words. [As characters] we are all closed off, and finally at the end of the story, we are loosened; we become individuals again.' Speaking is Kristen Martin, who plays Ariel in Maine State Music Theatre's final season production of Footloose, which runs from August 6-23. Her co-star, Eric Sciotto, agrees that his character, Ren, is 'on a journey to find himself after being abandoned by his father. Ren sees in Ariel a troubled soul who reminds him of himself. They recognize immediately that they are kindred spirits.'
