Crazy For You – Synopsis

With a book by famed comedic playwright Ken Ludwig and music by George and Ira Gershwin — is the classic tale of a boy, a girl, and a theater in need of salvation. Reluctant banker Bobby Child works
for his overbearing mother, Lottie, but spends his off hours befriending showgirls and trying to sneak in to audition for Zangler’s Follies. The Follies is helmed by Bela Zangler, a temperamental Hungarian producer. Unfortunately, Bobby’s showbiz career is going nowhere, and his over-bearing fiancé is insisting that he name the date. So, Bobby jumps at the chance to escape when his mother insists
he investigate a defaulted mortgage out of town. In nearly deserted Deadrock, Nevada, Bobby falls for Polly Baker, the only woman in town, whose father happens to own the property in default – the decaying, Gaiety Theater.

 Love struck, Bobby comes up with a plan: call in his friends, the Follies Girls, all the way from New York City, cast the locals– a bunch of rundown cowboys with latent musical talent–and put on a show to save the old building. However, Polly discovers that he comes from the bank and wants nothing to do with him. In order to spend time with the furious Polly, Bobby disguises himself as Bela Zangler. But while “Zangler” is talking up Bobby to the unsuspecting Polly, Polly is falling for the impersonation of dashing, European Zangler…. and when the real Zangler arrives in town, things really get “Crazy! Ludwig’s modern and hilarious script combined with a collection of the most beloved tunes of George and Ira Gershwin make Crazy For You a truly delightful homage to the musicals of the 1930s! It’s a world of showgirls and cowboys, in which a city boy and a country girl reconcile their differences, fall in love, and save a theater, the old – fashioned way.
