The new show inspired by a Jazz Age George and Ira Gershwin musical comedy also features Jennifer Laura Thompson, Judy Kaye, Michael McGrath, Terry Beaver and more.

With direction and choreography by Tony Award winner Kathleen Marshall (Anything Goes), Nice Work has a new libretto by Memphis Tony winner Joe DiPietro, who borrowed elements from P.G. Wodehouse and Guy Bolton's libretto to the 1926 musical comedy Oh, Kay! That bootleggers-and-playboys tale gave the world "Someone to Watch Over Me," "Dear Little Girl" and "Do, Do, Do."

Coincidentally, Nice Work If You Can Get It will play the same Broadway house where Oh, Kay! bowed — the Imperial, the recent home of Billy Elliot. Previews begin March 29. Opening night is April 24.
