NICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT Tour Coming to Harris Center This Weekend

By:

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 coming to Harris Center for the Arts. The champagne flows and the gin fizzes in this hilarious, Tony-winning musical comedy.

NICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT, which played over 500 performances during its 2012-2013 Broadway run, is filled to the brim with classic Gershwin songs, including "But Not For Me," "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off," "I've Got a Crush on You" and "Someone to Watch Over Me." 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.
