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 three-time Tony® Award winner Kathleen Marshall (Anything Goes) and a snappy book by Tony Award winner 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!
Thought it was terrific. Nice young, energetic cast. Music perfectly blended well with the cast. (didn't overpower).
I really didn't know much about this show. Fun, and entertaining for my husband and me! Loved the jokes and the music was great!
We went expecting a lot of good songs with very little story line or action. What we got was a hilarious, gut-busting comedy that kept on going throughout. If you go, visit the bathroom first or else you are likely to embarrass yourself by laughing too hard for too long!
Casting: perfect Costumes: outstanding Sets: delightful Orchestra: excellent The whole performance was professional, fun, beautiful, and of course, what can I say about Gershwin? it has all been said already!
It was energetic and absolutely entertaining! Great lines, great characters, music was delightful! Job well done!
Funny, entertaining and overall great performances by each of the actors. Truly loved the show.
Wonderful afternoon at the theater. Very entertaining show. Every member of the cast gave a stellar performance. Wonderful old tunes, great dancing and staging.
Excellent show. Very entertaining. The cast was fabulous and the set design intriguing and beautiful.
I got tickets for Nice Work If You Can Get It off of Travelzoo. I had never heard of the show but the price was right and I thought it would be a nice change of pace. I have never laughed so hard during a musical. This show was extremely entertaining. I usually don't enjoy comedy Broadway shows but this show was funny without being offensive.
Loved this show and was laughing the entire time. Warner Theatre is the best and love how you can bring drinks and food to your seats :)
What an amazing show. Sound was great, story was funny, characters were well represented.
We were pleasantly surprised with this show. It was excellent. The talent was top-notch! Evidently we saw an understudy in one of the leads but we had no idea. He was excellent! The story is fun and the cast pulled off the slap stick aspect of it beautifully! The music was incredible. The pit of only 8 musicians were incredible. So much that some of the audience lined up after the show to give them their own ovation. They were incredible. I have kept the Playbill because I am sure we are going to see these talented actors and musicians on Broadway. It's a no brainer….go see this show!
Hysterically funny! Absolutely loved it! Still talking about it a week later!!
I knew very little about this musical prior to seeing it. It exceeded my expectations. Lots of laughs throughout.
The singing and dancing were just amazing. I've never seen 20s style dancing in person before and this was quite a treat....film doesn't do it justice. I was really pleasantly surprised how funny this play was. Quite clever staging and production. We had a wonderful time
This was a great performance and an unforgettable night! I recommend this to anyone who loves the theater!
We had so much fun and enjoyed the show and the production was top shelf and very funny. I would recommend everyone see this show.
Absolutely FABULOUS production! Everything about it was first-rate! Amazing performances, beautiful voices, terrific Gershwin score, outstanding dance numbers. Original Broadway sets & costumes as well. Do whatever you have to do to see this show!
Not quite as good as we had hoped. The acting and the vocals were fine. Some of the scenes were fanciful, boring and nonsensical. But the play OVERALL was good.
"Nice Work if You Can Get It" is an outstanding show. My wife and I have been going to the theater for over 40 years and this was one of the very best and most entertaining shows we have ever seen.
