No Harry Connick in Boston

"Nice Work If You Can Get It,'' the Harry Connick, Jr., musical slated for a Boston run on the way to Broadway, has been pulled from the 2008 schedule.

Broadway Across America -- Boston president Drew Murphy sent a letter this week telling subscribers that the show, scheduled to open in December, has been "officially postponed" with no new date yet scheduled. Drawing from the George Gershwin songbook, the musical was set to reunite Connick with director-choreographer Kathleen Marshall, who directed him in a much-praised 2006 revival of "The Pajama Game" in New York.

The postponement came after Marshall dropped out of the project. Murphy, who said the organization would be in touch with subscribers when new Boston dates were scheduled, said other directors had expressed interest in overseeing the show. "It just takes time to work out the details,'' he said.
