What is Crazy for You™? Think five words—Gershwin—tap dancing—show girls. Crazy for You™ is the Tony Award winning musical that tells the story of Bobby Child, a well-to-do 1930's playboy whose dream in life is to dance. And despite the serious efforts of his mother and soon-to-be-ex-fiancée, Bobby achieves his dream! Memorable Gershwin tunes include “I Can't Be Bothered Now,” “Bidin' My Time,” “I Got Rhythm,” “Naughty Baby,” “They Can't Take That Away from Me,” “But Not for Me,” “Nice Work if You Can Get It,” “Embraceable You” and “Someone to Watch Over Me.”

Crazy for You™ is a high energy comedy of mistaken identity, surprise plot twists, fabulous dance numbers and classic Gershwin music. Don’t miss what is bound to be the tap dancing highlight of the summer. Performances July 18–26 in Halton Theater.
