Bayfield High School - Nice Work If You Can Get It
This year's show from Bayfield High School is Nice Work If You Can Get It - a jukebox musical using songs from the Gershwins. It's a classic, fast-paced comedy musical full of zany characters, mistaken identities and a whole lot of jazz. Set in 1920's New York with the glitz and glamour of the social elites coming head to head with a gang of savvy bootleggers, it's going to be a hoot!
