The Gershwins®' & Ken Ludwig's
Crazy for You®
by George Gershwin, Ira Gershwin, & Ken Ludwig
Beloved songs meet sensational dance in the ultimate feel-good Tony Award®-winning musical comedy for the holiday season.
A musical-loving banker sent to foreclose on a small-town theatre decides to revive it instead with the magic of the Follies, some slapstick comedy and a whole lot of charm. Flush with mistaken identities, a classic love story and 1930s glamour, The Gershwins®’ and Ken Ludwig’s Crazy for You® radiates with playful humor and high-energy show-stopping numbers.
A wealth of Gershwin tunes including “I’ve Got Rhythm,” “Someone to Watch Over Me” and “Nice Work If You Can Get It” fuse with exhilarating tap numbers in this triumphant musical celebration.
“It is heaven on earth. Everything an American musical comedy should be.” – The New Yorker
