The Story of Crazy For You
In a small, forgotten town, two people from opposite worlds cross paths.
Bobby Child is a theatre enthusiast who finds himself torn between managing his family's bank and pursuing his showbiz dreams. One day he travels to Deadrock, Nevada. There, he unexpectedly falls for Polly, the daughter of the theatre owner. The only problem? Bobby is there to foreclose on the theatre’s mortgage.
Determined to save the theatre, revive the community spirit and win Polly's heart, Bobby musters a plan to stage an epic performance, with the help of dancers from the esteemed Zangler Follies in New York City. In this tale of love, redemption, and unwavering determination, Bobby Child is on a mission to prove that dreams do come true.
The creatives of Crazy For You
Crazy For You is filled with side-splitting humour and an irresistible soundtrack of Gershwin classics such as "Someone to Watch Over Me," "I Got Rhythm," and "They Can't Take That Away from Me."
This dazzling production is a testament to the genius of Ken Ludwig's book, complemented by the choreography and direction of multi-Tony and Olivier award winner Susan Stroman.
