Shall We Dance?
George and Ira Gershwin's musical comedy, Crazy For You, celebrated its 30th-anniversary revival at Chichester Festival Theatre before making its West End transfer. Having choreographed the original production in 1992, Susan Stroman returned to choreograph and direct the show. Her contribution to the original production earned her first Tony for Best Choreography.

The original Broadway production won several awards, including the Tony Award for Best Musical, Best Choreography and Best Costume Design in 1992 and two Drama Desk Awards in the same year. In addition, the 1993 London production boasts three Laurence Olivier Awards, including Best New Musical.
