Crazy For You! – The New Gershwin Musical ComedyPresented by Paradise Community Theatre
321Central Avenue North, Faribault, MN
Music & Lyrics by George and Ira Gershwin Book by Ken LudwigDirector: Rachel HaiderMusic Director: Will McIntyreChoreographers: Mary Hahn & Megan Proft
A zany rich-boy-meets-hometown-girl romantic comedy, Crazy For You tells the story of young New York banker Bobby Child, who is sent to Deadrock, Nevada, to foreclose on a rundown theater. In Deadrock, Bobby falls for spunky Polly Baker, the theatre owner’s daughter. But Polly takes an instant dislike to the city slicker, so Bobby vows – through cunning, razzmatazz, and a hilarious case of mistaken identity – to win Polly’s heart and save the theatre. A few memorable Gershwin tunes from the score include “I Got Rhythm,” “Naughty Baby,” “Embraceable You,” “Nice Work If You Can Get It” and “Someone to Watch Over Me.”
