Best Cole Porter and Gershwin Musicals

OP, awww...I just wish you didn’t use the word “cheesy”...

I saw An American in Paris in Costa Mesa last April. It was beautiful. Was Nice Work all that good because Musical Theatre West in Long Beach is doing a production this Spring

I'm just curious to know if anyone who recommend Nice Work if You Can Get it

I coproduced Nice Work and obviously loved it. I know there's chatter pro/con about certain cast members but overall it was a really fun, joyous production with gorgeous costumes by the late Martin Pakledinaz. Joe DiPietro's book was hilarious and perfectly tailored for the Broadway cast, and other productions t The Gateway and Ogunquit were both rousing successes. aMusically I think it's amazing and the way David Chase and Bill Elliot molded and merged Gershwin songs and motifs is fantastic. The duet "Like Strauss" they crafted for Michael McGrath and Judy Kaye clinched the Tony for both of them that year. The orchestra on the album (conducted by Tom Murray) sounds spectacular and I highly recommend the OBCR. Kelli is glorious, and Jessie was too when she replaced Kelli in the run.

Give the album a listen and judge for yourself.

I've heard bits and pieces already and it sounds like a fun musical. And if you want info on the production Musical Theatre West is putting on in April, go to musical.org. Maybe I'll like it as much as I did with AAIP
