The place is a Manhattan loft shared by Anna, a lithe young dancer-choreographer, and her two gay roommates—her collaborator, Robbie, who has just been killed in a freak boating accident, and Larry, a world-weary, caustically funny young advertising executive. As the play begins Anna is recovering from attending Robbie’s funeral, comforted by her wealthy, well-meaning boyfriend, Burton, a sci-fi screenwriter whose persistent proposals of marriage Anna finds herself unable to accept. Then, with sudden, unexpected explosiveness, Robbie’s older brother, Pale, bursts on the scene. He has come to collect his brother’s belongings—but stays on to transform the action of the play and the lives of those in it. Menacing, profane, dangerous, and yet oddly sensitive, Pale is both terrifying and fascinating and, in the end, the one who brings to Anna the unsettling but compelling love that, despite her fears and doubts, she cannot turn away.

Crazy for You

Music and Lyrics by
George Gershwin and Ira Gershwin

Co-Conception by
Ken Ludwig and Mike Ockrent

Originally Produced on Broadway by
Roger Horchow and Elizabeth Williams

Book by
Ken Ludwig

Inspired by Material by
Guy Bolton and John McGowan

Original Broadway Choreography by
Susan Stroman

This throwback musical from the early 90s is reminiscent of the effervescent hits from early Broadway. 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 theater 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 theater. Memorable Gershwin tunes from the score include “I Got Rhythm,” “Embraceable You,” and “Someone to Watch Over Me.”

After a shipwreck, Viola disguises herself as a man named Cesario and enters the service of Duke Orsino, who is in love with Countess Olivia.

Confusion grows when Viola’s lost twin brother, Sebastian, shows up, leading to comic misunderstandings and a joyful resolution for all.
