CRAZY FOR YOU at the Gillian Lynne Theatre
Susan Stroman’s CRAZY FOR YOU is now open at The Gillian Lynne Theatre featuring a variety of songs by the great George Gershwin and Ira Gershwin.
The original West End production in 1993 won several Olivier Awards including ‘Best New Musical’ and the London revival in 2011 won ‘Best Musical Revival’. This production was first seen at The Chichester Festival earlier this year starring Charlie Stemp who will again be leading the show in London alongside Carly Anderson (Wicked) and Tom Edden (Cyrano de Bergerac).
This romantic musical-comedy follows Theatre-mad Bobby Child who is torn between his show-business dreams and running his family’s bank. He heads to Deadrock, Nevada to foreclose on a theatre’s mortgage but falls in love with the theatre owner’s daughter, Polly. To save the town and win Polly’s love, Bobby attempts to put on a razzle-dazzle show to save the theatre.
With a book by Ken Ludwig, CRAZY FOR YOU features Gershwin melodies such as ‘Someone To Watch Over Me’, ‘I Got Rhythm’ and ‘They Can’t Take That Away From Me’.
CRAZY FOR YOU will play a 30-week season at the Gillian Lynne Theatre. Book tickets now online or visit our box office.
