Crazy For You at Villanova Theatre

Music and Lyrics by George Gershwin & Ira Gershwin

Book by Ken Ludwig

Co-conception by Ken Ludwig & Mike Ockrent

Directed by Villanova University President Rev. Peter M. Donohue, OSA, PhD

Bobby Child, a reluctant uptown banker, dreams of dancing on Broadway–but instead of getting his foot in the door, it seems he’s always stepping on toes. When Bobby is sent to foreclose on a rundown theatre in Nevada, his luck takes an unexpected turn as he falls head-over-heels for the theatre owner’s daughter, Polly Baker. Set in the 1930s and scored with the infectious songs of George and Ira Gershwin, this firecracker of a musical showcases classic tunes like “I Got Rhythm,” “Embraceable You” and “Someone to Watch Over Me.” Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical, this madcap comedy “makes everything old feel new again” (New York Times).
