Nice Work If You Can Get It Sets Broadway Closing Date #1

Posted: 4/24/13 at 5:01pm

I am not surprised.

"The toe-tapping Gershwin tuner Nice Work If You Can Get It, starring two-time Tony winner Matthew Broderick and Tony nominee Jessie Mueller, will play its final performance on June 15 at Broadway's Imperial Theatre. Directed by Kathleen Marshall and featuring a book by Joe DePietro and score of classic Gershwin songs, Nice Work opened on April 24, 2012. At the time of closing, the production will have played 27 previews and 478 regular performances."

Well, this may pose a problem for the hope of the LES MISÉRABLES revival returning to the Imperial, unless a limited run books it.

Not surprising at all, I guess something will fill the Imperial for a limited season, any Christmas shows looking for homes.

I posted this in another thread, but it seems like this is the thread that everyone will be using. It made sense to close on Matthew Broderick's final performance if they could not get a big name to replace him.

I've known about this for a bit now but I was praying that they'd cement a great replacement for Broderick and save it. Oh well. A lovely little show that certainly brought a lot of joy to a lot of people. I'll definitely be making a return visit before June 15th.

Imagine how much lovelier it would have been with a competent leading actor.

Not surprised at all. This vehicle was tailored to Broderick and it worked very well, imo. I think there are many people involved in this production that are very grateful to Matthew for his committment to this project and his decision to extend the life of this production until June 15. I thoroughly enjoyed this production and the wonderful talent on stage at the Imperial every night.

The only review of a show that matters is your own.

The show was sensational when WIll Chase filled in for Mr. Snoozefest.

Will Chase was wonderful , the show truly worked when he did it. Of course it helps to have a leading man you'd like to see your leading lady end up with in the end.

could A Christmas Story possibly take the Imperial for the winter(Oct-Dec.) before les Miz moves in in the spring?

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

I'd say that is a very possible plan. It just depends if the producers would switch to a Shubert house as opposed to booking a Nederlander one. It most certainly won't be going back into the Lunt-Fotanne, so who knows? Didn't it originally supposedly have the St. James with Jujamcyn?
