Nice show if you can get to it
THE larger-than-life Cairns State High School production of Nice Work if You Can Get It will have Cairns audiences in stitches with its twists and turns and amazing musical numbers.
From May 31 to June to June 2, musical lovers will be treated to a school rendition of the classic Nice Work if You Can Get It musical at the Cairns Performing Arts Centre.
Set in the 1920s, Nice Work If You Can Get It follows the story of wealthy playboy Jimmy, who becomes entangled with a hapless trio of bootleggers when they stash 400 cases of illegal gin in the cellar of his Long Island beach house on the weekend of his impending wedding.
Under the direction of teacher Nicole Cleland, with a cast of 87 students from year 7 to year 12, 20 backstage crew and a full orchestra, the show promises to be big, fun and unapologetic.
“It’s not your average school musical, you will be amazed at the quality of our show” Ms Cleland said.
“We always want to showcase our music, dance and acting and this play has great musical numbers.
“And we wanted something that was big and spectacular but also really entertaining.”
“The students are very excited, we’re feeling really good about the show but the pressure is definitely on,” she said.
