According to Variety, Broadway favorites Sutton Foster and Matthew Broderick are set to participate in an October reading of the Gershwin musical, Nice Work If You Can Get It.  The reading will be headed by Kathleen Marshall, who was one of the producers who backed the show during its run in Boston in 2008.

Sutton Foster, who recently starred alongside Seth Rudetsky in They're Playing Our Song, is also set to appear in the upcoming  revival of Anything Goes. Her other Broadway credits include: Shrek, Young Frankenstein, Little Women, and Thoroughly Modern Millie.  Broderick's Broadway credits include: The Producers, The Philanthropist, The Odd Couple, and Short Talks on the Universe. 

Nice Work If You Can Get It is a musical, with music and lyrics by George and Ira Gershwin and a book by Joe DiPietro. . A workshop was performed in November 2007, featuring Harry Connick Jr. and Erin Dilly who were to then perform the show in Boston en route to Broadway, a run which was cancelled. At that time, the show was titled Heaven on Earth.
