Put on your dancing shoes because Crazy for You – the multiple Tony Award®-winning, romantic musical comedy – is lighting up Cambridge with its sublime songs, snappy script full of one-liners, and dynamic tap routines.
New York banker Bobby Child is sent to Deadrock, Nevada, to foreclose on a rundown theatre where he falls for spunky Polly Baker, the theatre owner’s daughter. She 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, save the theatre, and renew the town.
A celebration of musical theatre at its finest, the glorious Gershwin melodies include “I Got Rhythm,” “They Can’t Take That Away from Me,” “Embraceable You,” “Nice Work If You Can Get It” and “Someone to Watch Over Me.”
Who could ask for anything more?
Recommended for ages 10 and up.
Running Time: 2 hours and 25 minutes, including 20 minute intermission.
The costumes, the set, the dancing, the singing were beyond incredible. We have seen this play several time and this was my favourite by far. Congratulations and thank you for keeping the arts alive and well in southern Ontario!
