Moments after winning her third Tony Award for Best Choreography for Anything Goes, Kathleen Marshall said she is already at work with 2010 Tony-winning librettist Joe DiPietro on a new musical, Nice Work If You Can Get It, based on the 1920s Gershwin tuner Oh, Kay! about love among Prohibition bootleggers.

No casting yet, but Marshall said she believes the show will open cold on Broadway "if we can get the real estate together," with no out-of-town tryout, during the 2011-2012 season at a theatre to be announced.

Marshall said her Tony for Anything Goes is "incredible" and that she will have to pinch herself tomorrow morning to believe it's true.
