Crazy
For You The New
Gershwin Musical Music and Lyrics by
George Gershwin and Ira Gershwin Book
by Ken Ludwig Co-Conception
by Ken Ludwig and Mike Ockrent Inspired by Material by Guy Bolton and
John McGowan Originally produced on Broadway by Roger
Horchow and Elizabeth Williams Stage Director: Dr. Larry Anderson Music
Director: Keith Clattenburg Choreographer: Tom Blair
In the early 1990's,
Broadway needed (and theatre goers were ready for) a new
Gershwin
musical. But George and Ira were no longer on the scene. Enter Ken
Ludwig
and Mike Ockrent. Inspired by the material of Guy Bolton and John
McGowan, they created what is both a
great musical and a tribute to the Gershwin style. Crazy for You ran on
Broadway
for over 1,600 performances.
The score for Crazy
for You includes many Gershwin classics
from shows
such as Treasure Girl,
A Damsel in Distress,
Shall We Dance, Oh Kay, Ladies First and Girl Crazy (which also
lends a
sketch of the plot.)
We
have our "A" production team in place for Crazy for You. The
combination of Anderson, Clattenburg and Blair was responsible for our
outstanding premier at Shannondell, The
Music Man. And to add a special
spark, Dr. Anderson created an absolutely stunning Crazy for You a few
years ago for the drama club at UMAHS. You can be sure many elements of
that success will feed into our Shannondell production.
So
join us as we take you to the extremes of NYC and Deadwood, Az to
relive the golden times only the Gershwins could inspire.
