OBSERVER: Nice Work If You Can Get It


CLOC Musical Theatre presents the razzle dazzle musical comedy Nice Work If You Can Get It until May 31 at the National Theatre, St Kilda.

Directed by Mark Taylor, with musical direction by David Clausen-Wisken and choreography by Susan Lewis, the show is set in the roaring 1920s and features the timeless music of George and Ira Gershwin.

The story tells of Jimmy Winter (Will Hanley), a wealthy playboy with a weakness for gin and chorus girls, who meets Billie Bendix (Lauren Holcombe), a tough bootlegging dame with a heart of gold. When their worlds collide, chaos, romance and hilarity ensue, complete with mistaken identities, speakeasy secrets and plenty of tap-dancing flair.

Performance Details: Until May 31.
Venue: The National Theatre, St Kilda.
Bookings: cloc.org.au or 1300 362 547.
