Estelle Parsons Returns to Nice Work If You Can Get It; John Treacy Egan & Conrad John Schuck Join the Cast

Nice Work If You Can Get It is welcoming some new faces this spring—and a familiar one, too! Broadway alums John Treacy Egan and Conrad John Schuck will be joining previously announced Tony nominee Jessie Mueller in Nice Work If You Can Get It on March 29 as Chief Berry and Senator Max Evergreen, respectively. Additionally, as previously speculated, original cast member Estelle Parsons will return to the Imperial Theatre as Millicent Winter on April 30, succeeding current star Blythe Danner.

Show stars Kelli O’Hara, Stanley Wayne Mathis and Terry Beaver played their final performance on March 24, and Danner will play her final performance on April 28. Understudies will assume the roles of Billie Bendix, Chief Barry and Senator Max Evergreen until March 29.

The production also stars two-time Tony winner Matthew Broderick as Jimmy Winter, two-time Tony winner Judy Kaye as Estonia Dulworth, Tony winner Michael McGrath as Cookie McGee, Tony nominee Jennifer Laura Thompson as Eileen Evergreen, Chris Sullivan as Duke Mahoney and Robyn Hurder as Jeannie Muldoon. Featuring a score of classic songs from the Gershwin catalogue, Nice Work If You Can Get It tells the story of rich playboy Jimmy Winter (Broderick), who falls head over heels for rough bootlegger Billie Bendix (Mueller) on the weekend of his wedding. Directed and choreographed by Kathleen Marshall, the production features music and lyrics by George and Ira Gershwin and a book by Joe DiPietro.
