ANOTHER FABULOUS MUSICAL
“NICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT”
"Nice Work If You Can Get It,” is a musical featuring songs by George and Ira Gershwin with book by Joe Di Pietro, and based on material by Guy Bolton and P.G. Wodehouse. It premiered on Broadway in 2012. It is the story of charming and wealthy playboy, Jimmy Winter, who meets rough female bootlegger Billie Bendix, the weekend of his wedding to Eileen Evergreen, a self-obsessed modern dancer.
Thinking Jimmy and Eileen will be out of town, Billie and her gang Cookie and Duke, hide cases of alcohol in the basement of Jimmy’s Long Island mansion. But when Jimmy , his wife -to-be, and her prohibitionist family show up at the mansion for the wedding, Billie and her cohorts pose as servants, causing confusion galore. When a police whistle pierces the air, and the bootleggers scatter, Senator Max Evergreen and Chief Berry enter, along with Duchess Estonia Dulworth, who has brought along her Vice Squad and vows to rid society of its greatest evil “Demon Rum.”
The next morning Eileen Evergreen and Jimmy arrive home. They were married that morning and they are on their honeymoon. Cookie, disguised as a butler, enters and they naturally assume he’s their servant. Billie now enters stunned to see Jimmy who is stoned, has no memory of meeting her last night, flirts with her, causing him tremendous problems galore.

The Ladies Foursome is a tribute to the pitfalls and pleasures of friendships and their lasting significance in our lives.

BELLE BARTH AND THE RAUNCHY LITTLE MUSICAL
IS BACK AT THE PGA ARTS CENTER
Before Joan Rivers and Roseanne Barr, Belle Barth was the original outstanding female comic who deflated anyone who dared to take sex too seriously. Born Annabelle Salzman, Belle started performing at Borsht Belt hotels and small nightclubs at age 15. She initially billed herself as a singer-pianist who also did impersonations, but when Barth mixed her talents for music and comedy with a splash of ‘red hot mama’ spice, her career began to flourish. She travelled throughout the United States with her nightclub act as she strove to please her mother, by appearing at Carnegie Hall, which she almost did.
Belle Barth burst onto the 1950's Miami Beach scene as the”female Lenny Bruce.” the self-proclaimed founder of “Ball Breakers Anonymous,” this purveyor of dirty jokes who topped the chart of the Adults Only record section, had an attitude that made her off-limits for Ed Sullivan. Her records were forbidden fruit of the Fifties-with 3 million of her “party records” serving as sex education for today’s baby boomers, her nightclub act was SRO from Miami to Chicago, New York to Vegas to L.A.
Backed by a three-piece on- stage band, award winning actor/singer/comedienne, Sara DelBeato belts the “ditties of the titties” and grabs Belle’s character by...well, you know! Tickets for Raunchy Little Musical are now on sale at www.pgaarts.com or by calling 1-855-448-7469. Groups call 407-688-1951. Tickets for the March 12, 2018 opening range from $49 to $54.
