JUNE 12 - JUNE 30 | MAIN STAGE
Treasured Gershwin songs meet sparkling, sensational dances in the ultimate feel-good musical comedy for the summer season. From acclaimed Lend Me a Tenor and The Three Musketeers funnyman playwright Ken Ludwig, this Tony Award-winning musical sends a banker with show business stars in his eyes from New York to Deadrock, Nevada on official business. Mistaken identities, love at first sight, and hijinks hilarity resuscitate an abandoned theatre and the spirit of a small town. With a wealth of memorable tunes including “I’ve Got Rhythm,” “Someone to Watch Over Me,” and “Nice Work if You Can Get It,” Crazy for You bubbles over with spectacular show-stopping numbers and glistens with 1930s glamour. Ages 7+

Crazy for You, The new GERSWIN® musical comedy
From the moment of its premiere, Crazy for You made a lasting mark on the landscape of musical theatre. In his review of the original Broadway production in 1992, Frank Rich of The New York Times wrote, “When future historians try to find the exact moment at which Broadway finally rose up to grab the musical back from the British, they just may conclude that the revolution began last night.” In an era of musical theatre dominated by Cameron Mackintosh Broadway blockbusters imported from across the pond (Cats, The Phantom of the Opera, Les Misérables, Miss Saigon), the inventive “new” Gershwin musical stood out as a shining icon of a glorious golden age of American entertainment.
