West Genesee High School presents ‘Nice Work If You Can Get It’ as spring musical

Students of West Genesee High School will perform the musical “Nice Work If You Can Get It” as their spring show.

A hilarious screwball comedy, the show pokes fun at the prohibition era in a clash of elegant socialites and boorish bootleggers, all set to the glorious songs of George and Ira Gershwin. Highlights from the score include “Fascinating Rhythm,” “Let’s Call The Whole Thing Off,” “Someone To Watch Over Me,” “Sweet and Low Down,” “Delishious” and the title song. It’s being presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Tams-Witmark LLC.

The musical is directed by Kristyn Sperduti, produced by Andrea Scerbo, and is choreographed by Bradley Benjamin-Stone. Anthony Alvaro is music director, William Mercer Jr., is the lighting director, Donald Schuessler is technical director, and costumed by Cindy Kissane.

Performances will be 7 p.m. Thursday and Friday, Feb. 2 and 3, and 2 and 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 4. Reserved seat tickets are $15 and are available online. Tickets may also be purchased in person at the fine arts office.
