"...a riotously entertaining shop...[with] the American musical's classic blend of music, laughter, dancing, sentiment and showmanship..."
-The New York Times

Winner of the 1992 Tony Award for Best Musical, Crazy For You tells the story of Bobby Child, a well-to-do 1930's playboy, whose dream in life is to dance. Heir of a New York banking family, Bobby is sent by his mother to Deadrock, Nevada, on an errand to foreclose on the town's Gaiety Theatre. Once he arrives, however, he manages to fall in love with Polly, the daughter of the theatre's owner, and becomes involved in a plan to rescue the doomed venue by producing a spectacular show to pay off the building's mortgage. Will he save the day by rescuing the doomed theatre? And will this city slicker win the heart of the girl he loves? Experience the magic of this timeless story when Tuacahn's desert setting is transformed into a decaying Nevada village with the dream of keeping its beloved theatre alive.

Memorable Gershwin tunes include "I Can't Be Bothered Now," "Bidin' My Time," "I Got Rhythm," "Naughty Baby," "They Can't Take That Away from Me," "But Not for Me," "Nice Work if You Can Get It," "Embraceable You," and "Someone to Watch Over Me."

Crazy for You is a high-energy comedy featuring plot twists, mistaken identity, fabulous dance numbers, and classic Gershwin music. This award-winning musical homage to one of the greatest songwriting teams of the twentieth century will delight the entire family.
