Story Synopsis

CRAZY FOR YOU,  the new Gershwin musical might appear to have a familiar story line. Spoiled New York playboy is sent out west to foreclose on an aging theatre. There he meets the proprietor’s daughter and falls head over heels in love. Naturally she rejects him because of his mission. To prove his love he tries to save the theatre only to meet with apparent failure at both love and business. When she comes to realize that she is in love with him the result is a happy ending.

But it’s not that simple.
In fact, the twists and turns that lead to the happy ending are among the most hilarious ever conceived for a Broadway musical. And with 22 of the best known George and Ira Gershwin songs and melodies helping to tell the story, CRAZY FOR YOU becomes one joyous romp as it moves between Broadway and Nevada’s Deadrock City.
