Goodspeed Musicals announced casting for CRAZY FOR YOU, the Tony Award-winning Gershwin musical comedy, featuring Will Burton and Brittany Zeinstra in the lead roles at The Goodspeed in East Haddam, Conn.
The production follows Bobby Child, a New York banker sent to Deadrock, Nevada, to foreclose on a rundown theatre, only to fall for Polly Baker, the theatre owner’s daughter. What begins as a simple assignment becomes a spirited attempt to revive a forgotten town through tap, mistaken identity, and some of the most iconic songs in the American musical canon, including “I Got Rhythm,” “Embraceable You,” and “Nice Work If You Can Get It.”
A bold concert where pop hits take centre stage and are “Re-Imagined” into a celebration of song and storytelling. Hosted by Darryn de Souza, and featuring Mariah Campos, Trevor Coll, Emry Harland and Tiffany Deriveau. This electrifying night fuses power anthems with soulful ballads. From unique mashups to new takes on iconic pop songs, experience the chart-toppers that have lit up Broadway.
