Crazy for You
Is there anything better than falling in love… to a Gershwin tune? When Bobby Child — big city banker with showbiz dreams — is sent to a dusty Nevada town to foreclose on a crumbling theatre, he doesn’t expect to fall head over heels for its fiercely independent owner, Polly. Desperate to win her heart, Bobby hatches a bold plan: put on the greatest show the town has ever seen and save the theatre from ruin.
This delightful musical comedy serves up mistaken identities, missed connections, and a love story that dances its way to a happy ending. With timeless songs like “Someone to Watch Over Me” and “Embraceable You,” it’s a sparkling night of old-fashioned romance, laughter, and toe-tapping joy. Because love—and great music—never go out of style.
A preshow talk is offered in the West Lobby 30 minutes prior to curtain.
