Set in 1927 during Prohibition, 'Nice Work If You Can Get It' is the story of charming and wealthy playboy Jimmy Winter, who meets rough female bootlegger Billie Bendix the weekend of his wedding.
Jimmy, who has been married three (or is it four?) times before, is preparing to marry Eileen Evergreen, a self-obsessed modern dancer. Thinking Jimmy and Eileen will be out of town, Billie and her gang hide cases of gin in the basement of Jimmy's Long Island mansion. But when Jimmy, his wife-to-be and her prohibitionist family show up at the mansion for the wedding, Billie and her cohorts pose as servants to try and protect the gin, causing hijinks galore. Prohibition was never this much fun!
The show’s producers, Savoyards Musical Theatre Brisbane, are excited to be bringing the Queensland premiere of this Tony Award winning show, featuring a cast of 28 talented performers and a live orchestra playing this gorgeous Gershwin score, to the Iona Performing Arts Centre for a limited season.
The cast of the production have come up with their five step guide to 'Nice Work If You Can Get It'.
